172 and Cup

[Theo]

Guys, here in Sydney we only have a Clio Sport (172 i think) lots of you talk about a Cup what model is that?

Its a 172 thats been on a diet! It weighs 89kg less (1021kg) because it does without abs, xenon lamps, climate control, leather interior, 6 cd player, etc. It has thinner glass and loses some soundproofing. Theres no spare wheel either. It has slightly different suspension settings, and is fitted with wheels with a different offset, effectively widening the track. And until about July, they only came in blue - now theyre in silver, too, and you can specifiy climate as an option. And it looks like this:

Thanks a lot, at least I can follow the conversations now.

Here in hot Sydney the 172 are light as well, as they sweat a lot!
