197 cup?

[Dyewitness]

is there to be a clio 197 cup out soon? stripped down 197?

 

[Lee]

Not soon, but it's in the pipeline.

It's going the right way that's for sure. Very few details though, because Renault are still throwing ideas around.

 

[edde]

Not that far away

More in terms of suspension realy not much can be lost realy.

You're thinking Cup packed 197, not the 197 Cup.

If the Cup is what it should be then it may replace the Trophy for me.

 

[Munson]

Sounds like someone's been having a few pints with Jeremy

 

[TheKing]

what you hoping to see then lee?

 

[Ollie82.]

Im with Lee on this one. If its a proper Cup in the stripped down sense of the word then i'll leapfrog the Trophy and get one.

 

[Munson]

I reckon if they could quite easily lose c. 100kg if they really wanted to. It just depends how serious they are about making it a 'Cup'. They may even opt to remove rear seats Mini GP stylee? Never say never.

[tommyboy]

I hope they make one and soon as, they need an answer to the Corsa VXR

 

[Munson]

I can't see them making it look s**t

they have it.
a standard 197 !

 

[Peperami]

Did everyone else miss the release of the r27?

 

[Fred@BTM]

thats not a proper cup

the proper cup will be good, i'm buying one!

 

[Loki]

love the r27 walked past one and an r26 at the weekend about 100 times lol had a good gander aswell.

 

[Shindig]

The 197 cup will have the R27 suspension etc and looks but stripped down, no toys. on sale at the end of the year

 

[Munson]

I would have thought the biggest single weight saving would be to remove the AC. But how many will they sell with no AC - 5? Tricky call.

 

[seb]

must have AC imo. i need to remain cooled in my cars

 

[Munson]

Yep. I'd rather get beaten by 3cm in the dual carriageway w**k-off, than have my nuts roasted on an open fire

 

[Steve2004]

I reckon they could sell a cup with no air con quite easily, but it'd have to offer a substantial drop in weight in exchange. Will have to aim it purely at the enthusiasts though.


Not everyone needs air con. :rasp:

 

[tomhunt85]

It's apparently due out in December and the R27 is more like a cup packed 197 plus recaros than being based on the cup.

 

[Rufstuf]

I would buy a 197 cup no probs, if it was a proper cup that is-
No air con, poofy xenons, soundproofing, thinner glass etc.
I'll keep my real cup for now and see what happens

 

[ado]

I'll buy one without aircon. Mine doesn't last more than 3 months at a time anyway.

 

[Tom]

Im quite excited about the "cup"

Which i know nothing about.

 

[sh33n]

Indeed, it will have A/C, ala Meg Cup.

PMSL how true.

 

[djdrastic]

I hope they make one and soon as, they need an answer to the Corsa VXR

 

[Chili Red]

The end of the year is when I'll be looking to change my 182..hmm. Thing is I won't have another car without aircon and I do like the Xenons!

 

[polarbert]

The thing is I don't see how its going to be cheaper. Because the things that were knocked off the FF for the cup, aren't even on the 197 FF as standard.

 

[Christopher]

we'll see
