182 Cup

[PhatAirs]

Does anybody know Renaults plans for 182 cup? Ive read a couple of mags and the view is conflicting.

Is it going to be 182 with a £200 cup pack, or a proper lightweight Cup?

NO CUP.

I wonder if they will do some sort of CUP style special edition later in the year though. I suppose it will depend on sales.

There not planning on bringing out a 182 Cup but you can buy the Cup Package for it which includes uprated suspension. Theres some good magazine reviews - try Evo.

Evo Magazone :

For the Clio 182 you really want, Renault asks you to hand over 200 notes for the Cup chassis option. Its a form of blackmail because if you buy a 182 youll regret it. The option involves a 3mm lower ride height, spring rates up a further 20% at the front and 15% at the rear, and even trickier Michelins

And the final paragraph sounds promising:

In fact, so good is the clio 182 with the Cup chassis set up that i feel moved to make a bold statement - i think its the BEST hot hatch ever built

NO!!!! Think of your residuals man!

Imagine how much more the Williams would be worth if theyd have only made the original 400! - Thousands!

Thats not really the point as the Cup was lightened to maximise performance whereas the 182 isnt.
