Clio Renaultsport 200 announced

[MattyMarsh]

Looking at this video I'm not a big fan of the new Megane. It just doesnt do it for me. It looks massive too.

[Mr Burns]

As much as I like the 200, I can't help thinking that the current 197 is a better-looking car.

 

[mccabe172]

Megane just looks like a round astra vxr. Prefer the r26.

amen

 

[markhinton]

Excellent, I'll go get a 197/R27 when this comes out

 

[RDP197]

Not sure! I prefer the 197 at the mo! Tho I'm sure I'll see one of those on the road and immediately want one!

Rather like the Megane tho! Drool

Yeah, I saw a 2008 R27 in red. Looks absolutely amazing. Only problem it costs £14,000.

Bring on the 200.

Astra VXR? Seriously? One minute the Megane looks like a 197, and now the Megane looks like an Astra? Is the internet actually real or am I just dreaming it?

Well the exhaust is a blatant copy

The internet is full of dreams and loads of bullshit.

 

[NORMY]

like your quotes lol! ^^^^

 

[m4rkie23]

i was thinkin that

 

[theduck]

Just noticed that the 200 doesnt have front fogs...

 

[NORMY]

doesnt need them... the fog will desperse on its own when it sees the front of that thing coming down the road!!!

 

[mwn11]

Really like the RS megane, the clio looks like its chewing something with those flabby cheeks.

 

[JonC]

Could we have estimates of how long before we see the first 197 vs 200 thread.

 

[Ian]

I think you're probably in a position to make the best guess, Jon! Founding member I take it?

 

[Marky_]

I don't care about the looks. It's the extra 3bhp that does it for me.

I think it's safe to assume the output is exactly the same, but they wanted a new name.

 

[VeinAST]

Love it! Looks so nice! Definitely getting one of these in a few years

 

[NORMY]

it has one purpose only........... to make renault some much needed dosh. thats it. ppl WILL be fooled!

 

[DebV6]

I like it! Like the green too!

 

[box car willy]

nobody needs front fogs, they're just used by c**k-suckers to make their car look more macho

 

[Steviant]

I like the composition of this shot.

 

[seb]

that has fogs^^

 

[mccabe172]

It does look good in that shot and the one where it looks to be on three/two wheels. But 14k? still a lot to spend and with 2nd had prices tumbling for that cash there are a lot of other older motors available.

 

[Dave138]

I think the normal 200 does have fogs but to save weight they have removed them on the cup version.

 

[benmore]

I quite like the new shape megane too

that clio is a decent looking car (the new one), the yellow is sexual

as above not too sure on front but it'll grow on us and in a year we'll all be going AWW THAT IS SEXY

 

[NORMY]

I like the composition of this shot.

Wooooooooo0000000000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

[Shorty_Irl]

I dont like the new nose tbh, and I dont really think that an extra 3bhp will make any difference to the cars overall performance. If weight is down then it should make the sprint to 60 slightly quicker, maybe 2 tenths at best. Would I buy one? Probably, but only in black or red. The green is gash IMO.

Rather have the new Megane 250 tbh :approve:

 

[ukaskew]

Is there any news on the weight? Strangely missing from all that blurb.

I make you right,

just LOOK at this

http://imotormag.co.uk/news/212487/geneva_2009_renaultsport_megane_250.html

maybe not to everyones taste but f00k me that is BEAUTIFUL in my opinion

I'd LOVE one of these

I think this even wipes the floor with the astra vxr looks wise, in a beauty contest

my god it looks like it's got some road presence for sure

 

[Munson]

TBH that's why all cars are made. It's a facelift. They all do it. It's normal.

 

[J0sh]

WANT!

Its a good looking car to be sure, but I think it looks better in different colours. Im not a big fan of LY, they look spectacular but I wouldnt buy one tbh. Ive driven the standard coupe and its a big improvement over the Mk2 Megane. Im hoping to catch a drive of the new RS cars over the next few months

 

[theduck]

never said it NEEDED fogs, just noticed that it didnt have them. guess as someone else pointed out its a weight saving thing on cups

 

[Ollie82.]

So the Cup is 30 odd kg's lighter than the standard 200 BUT how much does the 200 weigh compared to the 197 Cup?

 

[JonC]

I think you're probably in a position to make the best guess, Jon! Founding member I take it?

My post was meant as tongue in cheek. Had a MKII172 in 2001 when I joined and with a few other cars in between. Haven't been on this forum much until I bought a Trophy last year. I don't know who is the longest standing member here but I'm not a founding member, there were plenty of members when I joined in 2001.

I quite like the 200, the nose is not as "mouse" like as the 197. Look forward to the R27R!!

 

[theduck]

obviously a bit beefier because the 3ps and shorter ratios have gained in nothing on the sprint to 60
