The Renault Clio RS 200 hot hatch

The Clio Renault sport 200′s performance credentials are evident in its exterior design. Its styling includes aerodynamic features which take their inspiration from the world of Formula 1. Clio Renault sport 200 is powered by the latest-specification normally-aspirated 2.0 16V engine (F4R RS). With a specific power output of more than 100hp/litre, this powerplant delivers an extremely high level of performance for the hot hatch segment. In addition to the gains achieved at low revs, peak power has been increased by 3hp to 200hp at 7,100rpm. Meanwhile, the low-end (below 3,000rpm) torque boasted by Clio Renaultsport 200 has been boosted by an impressive 20 per cent over that of the 197 thanks to a new cylinder head and fine-tuning of the engine mapping.

Only thing missing from this car is a rainbow sticker.

My beloved Clio 182 had to go -bad electrical fault expensive to solve. The RS200 and I are getting to know each other -a bit firm with the Cup chassis but what road holding = awesome! A serious meeting with a Vauxhall VXR showed that the VXR extra horses did not seem to bother the Clio – I had an extra balast of 11 stone (one of my sons) the VXR had just the driver.
Great car to drive ,all the deficiencies ot the 197 ironed out the low down torque allows me to drive in town in 5th gear and can accelerate well ! Good on ya Renault I am going to ENJOY !
