New Clio Renault Sport
The hot hatch with passion and driving pleasure

The challenge faced by Renault Sport Technologies’ engineers when first penning New Clio Renault Sport was to respect the original personality of Clio III while at the same time highlighting the newcomer’s own intrinsic qualities and dynamism.

The result is an outstanding car which puts the accent firmly on performance, passion and driving pleasure. New Clio Renault Sport stands out as a worthy successor to Clio Renault Sport 2.0 16V and features a groundbreaking first in its segment in the form of a rear air diffuser which uses technology derived directly from Formula 1. In association with the extractor vents in the front wings, it ensures excellent aerodynamic performance.

Sportier than ever, New Clio Renault Sport is powered by an evolution of the normally-aspirated 2.0 16V engine, the power of which has been increased to 197hp. This is equivalent to 100hp/litre, making it the highest specific power output of its category. This has been achieved partly thanks to an increase in its volumetric efficiency which has not only improved engine power but has also taken torque to a best-in-class 215Nm at 5,550rpm.

Coupled with the new six-speed gearbox, this powerful, responsive engine offers first-class sports performance and driving pleasure. The double-axis strut system guarantees rigorously precise handling. New Clio Renault Sport is built at Renault’s Dieppe plant, which specializes in the production of the brand’s sports models.

Looks quite a bit better than the lower-powered versions. I hope this thing handles as well as the previous sporty Clios, they were said to be best in class.

Nice exterior. The exhaust pipe and rear diffuser are cool. The interior looks a bit cheap, IMO.
