Sounds promising but it's not for me. For me, the 200's a better proposition; NA with a manual box and awesome chassis.

There's no doubt the new car will be superb though.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news

i was hoping this car was going to have the benefits of the clio chassis with the torque character of the megane's engine but it looks like it could be a bit too watered down with the DSG box etc.

im trying to tell by watching the video but anyone recons thats running an LSD? he seems to be getting on the power pretty early and using the torque in the wet

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news

I'm betting there's no LSD. Certainly not on the launch models.

Think 225 to R26.
 
Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news

this is the thing more performance cars are using dsg style boxes :(

tbh that video sold me on the rs i want one of them :eek:

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news

tbh = to be honest ;)

AH Ok ^^

so , what I can say having read somebody before ?

Like you I said in the start :

- OMG a Clio RS with 5 doors , "Sacrilèges !!!" ...
But I saw the car precisly and more and more I think : Hum it is not so bad actually with its 5 shorts doors and even it is a class modern design

- OMG a Clio RS with a semi auto gearbox, "Sacrilèges !!!" ... ^^
But more I saw this semi-auto gearbox more I think : It will be a fun and great gearbox even if less than a manual gearbox BUT I'm sure, soon Renault Sport will propose a version of the Clio 4RS with a manual gearbox !


Thus mates DON'T WORRY !!! :p

Oh mates the Clio 4RS is not a "classic" car, it is a RENAULT SPORT-
ALPINE CAR and it will rest a RENAULT SPORT-ALPINE CAR !!!
And I'm sure that it will be a nice and not expensive great sport car and which will rest by far in the top and the Queen of its category !! :hail::cheers:

To say track was wet looked promising.
RS don't really make a bad car.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news

I wont really be in the position to buy one, so the new one really does not kick up a fuss for me. But from what I've heard so far is it's more practical, more economical and lower emissions.

Not really the approach I would have taken with a market leading hot Hatch with plenty of competition who put out the same car 3-4 years ago.

imo of course.

As far as I can gather, the only time you'll see it is when it goes up the hill - locked away the rest of the time.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news

Sounds lovely, looks boring (unless they do put a wider arch)

Handling looks pretty good from the corner and exit speed?

I think it's going to be pretty pricey too because of the gearbox. IMO

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news

Yep. Was confirmed yesterday apparently.
Should have gone up the hill at 17:40 and again tomorrow at 17:20 and hidden away in between. Straight after its run tomorrow it'll be winging its way back to Europe for further testing. A bit of a coup for RUK to get their hands on it for FoS.

No. It'll be the same test mule as pictured already I would imagine. Awaiting to see pics on autocar with their live blog.

It's been up the hill and confirmed is still in camouflage. Keep a look out on the web and renaultsport.co.uk for pictures.

Love it, just hope its not DSG only as it'll ruin it for me. Drivers cars should be manual, nothing better than stirring the box down a good b road

Did indeed go up the hill yesterday with the supercars in the last run of yesterday, didn't realise what it was until it went past. Was still all camo'd up so can't really tell what it looks like, didn't see any handles sticking out for the rear doors so i guess they are hid away?
For the rest of the day it must have been hidden away as i went round everywhere and didn't see it.
