I read on a very trustet carwebsite there will be the 1.2T in it, with 140hp. Will be in Geneve in March.
Can anyone confirm this?

 

[Gary-Lew]

i want those wheels they look so easy to clean

 

[Ben.]

:dead:

 

[DrR]

I like it! Needs more power though. Unless you need a paperweight to hold it down.

 

[Day]

Further refined Clio2 chassis, cheap tax an el rapido...

Worth considering imo

Can you say if it's more or less?

 

[Gareth]

all I can say is that people need to appreciate that this is an ENTRY level Renault Sport and peoples expectations are a bit optimistic.

its got to be a decent step up from the GT tho surely....

 

[bmh.01]

So the lump will be something crappy then. But then it could never be anything brilliant as it'll eat into the 197s market.

 

[Batman]

i wreckon 120bhp tops in more words then one it will be crap

Thats a shame

As it's based on a 172 floor plan, i'd want atleast the same

 

[bmh.01]

The next VTR? Good but just lacking what it needs to be brilliant?

 

[theduck]

I reckon if its 120bhp it will still be a decent motor

 

[Ian_182]

If its 140 bhp do you think it would be good with a 180 bhp re-map

Spot on in my opinion.

It needs to be a luke warm insurance friendly hatch for all the young people to buy that can't afford to buy/run a 197/225.

From a 1.2? LMFAO I seriously doubt Renault will be putting such a potent blower on the car not to mention the intercooler capacity will be chockers at such a power level.

Probably a t2 sized turbo for as least lag as possible.

I've lost interest in it tbh. You want a small engined but boosted car look to fiat and the 500 abarth.

and in 23k miles the dash clocks will need replacing, the drivers door will be falling off, the body computer will need replacing, the gearbox will need rebuilding, the interior trim will need refitting as it will have fallen off, the stereo will have broken trapping a limited editin CD in it jsut outside out of the 12month warranty, the wing mirror casing will have fallen off and need replacing, the speed sensor will need replacing, glovebox catch will have broken, suspension droplink will have been replaced TWICE, and i think that is about it.

^^^ more reliable than my car.
