Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
On average 100kg lighter than previous model.
Sounds great to me!

"Lastly, in September, users will experience the final phase of the launch with a surprise linked in to the promotional film."RS details perhaps ?

Im not sure I like the idea of drivers being able to choose from different engine sound effects either...

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
I am really quite excited about the RS version now I have seen these official shots of the standard Clio IV
I think it looks great! Can't wait to see Rs version in Alien Green
(photoshop anyone)
1.6 turbo with a cheaky remap should easily be 250bhp, with added 5 door practicality this is a genuine Mk5 GTi replacement for the wife.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
I dont know really what think about this classic Clio 4 especially compared to the direct competitions in its category of "city cars" from Japan or from France like the future Peugeot 208
Like much more peoples here and in the world I think good and bad things ^^
In fact I wait the RS version and I hope a best design than the design of the Classic Clio 4...
And I shall see if my next "little" racing car after my current Clio 2 RS1 in 2 or 3 years will be the Clio 4RS or the Peugeot 208 GTi for example ^^
I hope especially in the RS version a real "arrow" speedmeters and not this digital speedmeters only that I dont like !!

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
So it was this leaked photo back in sept last year
http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?600961-More-credible-Clio-4
I think it looks quality tbh, look at this, then look at a Mk3 phase 2 lol
Cant wait for the RS version. I think even the standard nose looks reasonably aggressive?

bad new sure for me too
This confirm for me that Renault with its new Clio 4RS want also change fully his usual customers of Clio RS...
And for that it transformed a "GTI" car in a "GT" car :-(

Indeed mate. Less weight and more torque will make it significantly more usable for most people.

Don't understand by everyone is slagging off the gearbox!
It would be nice to have the option in not disputing that at all, but how do you know the quality won't be good? It's an area Renault haven't explored yet and if they're only supplying that box they must have some confidence in it!
The box will of been tested for thousands of miles in a test car anyway, problems will come when everyone is trying to put 300bhp through it!

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
TBF, you could argue that they 'must' have spent time and money testing chairs and steering wheels for durability, so that particular argument doesn't hold much water with me.
You're right though, it's a certainty that people will be blowing their cars up with added boost. I doubt renault will engineer much redundancy into the engine/drivetrain.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
I'm fairly pleased, I'm 30 now and my priorities have changed.
The clutch in my old 182 (as the new owner may be aware of) was a bit stiff and destroyed my knee. Since I've had the BMW and the Smart I've begun to appreciate the 2 pedal set-up. Also I expect I'll need the practicality of the 5 doors fairly soon.
So for me it looks like it will continue to be the performance bargain its predecessors always were.
I was never any good at changing gear anyway!

"Surely you can just wind out da actuator on da terbo yeah and run 1Bar?"[\i]
It'll be governed by at least 2 boost pres. sensors I'd guess and anyone daft enough to try it on standard management will just see flashing lights and no boost then be in need of a trip to the dealers.
I still can't wait to see and test one no matter what gearbox it eventually comes with. I'm actually seeing this as a viable new motor for the company and home life now we've got the baby.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
One thing is the Feel of putting gears manually on a syncrho gearbox (even better in a full sequential straight tooth gearbox), another thing is the feel of a dual clutch system. 2 worlds..
I like cars, I like mechanics... and when i shift the gears i WANT to feel in my hand the "metal" on the other side of the gear lever linkage selecting the upper or lower gear.. not an anesthetized feel of what I'm doing..
Plus..someone said: "to go faster add lightness" ..... not all this heavy electronic thingy...
That's why I don't like that gearbox.
Speaking only for myself.. I wasn't complaining about quality but about the driving experience.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
It's me mate, i don't like anything that isn't fully manually controlled. I hate FBW.. invasive controls and those non manual boxes. As I said I'm not complaining about the quality. I like renault and I think it would be a good product for sure. but it's not for me.. so i was only explaining why I said that.
Anyway I think you'll agree that it can be perfect.. but changing gears with a non direct feel to the gearbox as on a system like that is slightly different than on a full manual one..right?

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
I'd prefer the option of a manual box too. Regardless of whether the new one could be hit by comet and survive, its a matter of preference and obviously one that alot of people share.
I think it would be folly for Renault to ignore their customers on something like this, especially as in some respects the RS Models are a niche market.
C'est la vie!

5 door doesn't bother me. 1.6 turbo doesn't bother me. The twin clutch 'box will take some getting used to, but will be fun.
The only thing that I don't like is the design of the car seems a bit too fussy atm. Too many different angles, too much going on, especially at the rear. Hopefully the RS has different bumpers to make it look more aggressive.

A 5 door RS Clio is just wrong and the front badge is way too big, not a big fan of the way new cars are turning out these days

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
I am slightly disappointed with this but it certainly isn't a deal breaker!
Dont forget they have not confirmed a cup spec car yet. This could incorporate a manual box to save weight & cost?
