Think people are missing the point here. Renault aren't making these to make the few hundred on this forum happy, they're making them to sell them.
The majority of the worlds population wants safety, refinement and economy... They don't give two tosses how quick a car is etc. Hence more base models will be sold than RS'.
I'll wait 'til i see one in the flesh to give my judgement though.

could look like an elephant if you put a trunk on it. It's big enough! Just need a nice dull grey colour to finish the look off

I've seen numerous Chav chariots come and go. Each one got slated on release but then heralded the new king.
The basic facts are it will be lighter and more bhp. Renault can make a good handling car. It has the recipe for success.
I will definitely be test driving. Sounds great to me. Sat nav, blue tooth etc etc. it just cracks me up on the comments. Throws me back to all the other releases.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
I know, i recall similar chat about the 200 and look what happened.
I'm very interested in it as a family bus. I'll be interested to see what its like on mpg as its a 1.6 - i'd imagine it'll be better than the 200 in that department! Tax should be cheaper aswell i'd imagine! The only thing i can see letting it down is the gear box, but i do hope im wrong i really do..

I really cannot see how they have managed to take 200kg's of weight from the previous 200.
If thats the case then its going to be circa 1040kg's, with 200bhp that would go like a stunned racoon!

Definatley, the bhp/ton figure should be a marked improvment aswell.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
Looks alright and I love the double clutch gearbox
however, it's a turbo, so for that reason I'm out.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
I agree, people live in the dark ages thinking the 182 is the best car ever and nothing beats it and live on track permanently. My 182 pisses me off, every car has a turbo so if i want to over take i have to scream it which is frustrating. Great car when in the mood, and good for the money on track, but other wise its a chore, crap interior, crap driving position, rattles and no torque etc. Move on people lol

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
Yeah is it just me or is 150ms actually quite a long gear change time for a dual clutch box? Upchanges for VW's DSG are 8ms (as long as the gearbox is ready).

According to that PH article the cup chassis is "15 per cent stiffer and five per cent lower"... I'm guessing they mean 5mm lower :slap:

It shares the exact same body as the standard Clio, does it not? The accountants had a field day on this before Dieppe even got started, in my opinion.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
So if they'd bolted on arches like on the Meganes people would have been happier?
People need to accept that niche low volume cars from the likes of Renault won't happen anymore, from a business perspective, to have a 3 door flared arch body just for low volume RS sales is, relatively speaking, a complete waste of money.
So they can only work with what they've got...and considering what they've got to start with, I think RS Dieppe have made a pretty good job of it.
How it feels and drives is all that matters to me...and Renaultsport's track record here is good so it should be a winner.
Well, it's either that or find a £2k almost 10 yr old probably 100k+ mile 172/182 and join in with all the other inbreds that they now fall into that hands of at that price.
No thanks.
