Anyone know about autoexpress new clio182

[aaronc]

Anyone know about the autoexpress article concerning the new clio 182 which was pushing near 200bhp but having probs putting power down due to the low weight?

Is this true?

Apologies if this has been asked already!

Sorry, been away. We are looking at a new version for the end of production, however the discussions are still ongoing as to a specification and to whether the version would actually go ahead at all. However, what it will definitely not have, if it was to be agreed, is any increase in power.

I would love to see something with the cult appeal of the Williams series - a real collectors item. I do love the 172/182 and V6 variants, but none have captured the essence of the Willy. All marketing and minor details of course IMO - the substance of the 16V and Willys offspring have more than satisfied the keener driver, but not quite moved the game on so much as they did in their time. Still - thats scant criticism.

Id just like to see a 2.2 bottom end slapped onto a RS Clio, with parts-bin special modifications to the suspension and transmission, a garish colour scheme...and just perhaps a suitable name that conjures up slightly false images of racing glory?!!
