New Clio RS

[R-Sport.]

Thats me out of business if that POS lands anywhere near me.....

Looks like a SEAT-

do not want.

dont think brembos will make a return even in special edition models, too much hastle with them and sticking pins/pads, nothing wrong with standard single piston brakes if they use resonable sized discs and a good pad/disc combo

People seem to be forgetting that the 1st RenaultSport models in the range are always cr4p, then they get it right a little while later ... Before they create 15 limited editions.

Meggy 225 > 225 Trophy > R26
Ph2 172 > 172 Cup > 182 Trophy
197 > 197 Cup > 200

Etc etc.

Give it 12 months and they'll be one with more power, an lsd & manual box, guaranteed ...

 

[Rudi]

that looks w**k!!!

 

[alex-avfc]

Think I'd be looking at the new Fiesta ST over this which looks miles better, even though it's got a rather controversial front end too with its gapey mouth.

 

[mattjones]

Looks OK I suppose but hopefully the Cup chassis will get rid of that hideous arch gap!

The thing is no amount of time is going to sort out that ugly front end.

As for the motor no doubt it's massively de-tuned, the Factory JCW comes with 210bhp as standard but with a few simple mods they can reliably produce 270+bhp and 290lbs/ft.

 

[Brett]

Hmm. I'm not convinced. This could be the end of the RS Clio being the best hot hatch. 175lbft isn't great from a blown lump. I bet it's because the box will break if it's more meaning that remaps will probably destroy it.
