Cup trophy mild seven telefonica will be the one to get.
Lol!
Bit dissapointing, I was comparing the 172 cup spec with this last night and it looks like the gearbox is even shorter
6th gear in the 197 is shorter than 5th in a 172!! Whats all that about?!?
Top speed is less too!

i think its because the extra weight and the lower bhp/ton the gear ratios have been adjusted to give a quick acceleration time like that of the 172/182.
i cud be completly wrong but i makes sence in my head???:S
to be honest i cant see it doing 0-60 in 6.9secs and the top speed is very disapointing to!

I understand that they would want equal or better performance then the 172/182 but surely thats possible with making 5 short ratio gears and then a long 6th for cruising...would make it so much more refined and comfortable.
5 short for fun.....then into 6th to relax. Simple. No?

I like the looks, nothing wrong with a bit of subtle styling imo. If you like big spoilers, stickers and body kits then maybe you need to be looking at Subaru's or CTR's etc. All Renault Sports look relativly tame in appearance which to me is a plus, if you compare the 172/182 to other hot hatches - CTR, VXR, Focus RS etc they arent in your face. The older I get (25) the less I like Evo's, type R's and Subarus styling... I dont know but I think I would feel a little silly getting out of a pimped up super mini with a whale fin stuck on the back.
No more clio's for me!
Has anyone got a pic of the concept, can't remember what it looks like, i know it was better than the crap they've decided to sell!

Ahhhh but what you forget young man is the fact that all other clios are made out of lead and wrought iron, when compared to a cup's super featherweight carbon fibre, and the engine is std, in a cup version it would have super secret squirrel nitrous injection and pistons made from conflict diamonds, and run on special fuel, to help give it the 100 extra hp it would have over a std one, and it would have the suspension from Alonsos formula one car, and be able to lap yr average track at least 30 seconds quicker than a std full fat one, obviuosly like all previous cups it would hammer an FQ 300 evo on the "twisties" Apart from that, pretty much the same as standard really.
