"The current V6 will be dropped - Nissans 350Z motor is in the new Clio and being tested. It will be known as the Clio Cup.
The Clio will be getting the RS225 Turbo motor, possibly making more power.
The 2.0 will remain."

Any more info? Comments?

Cant see them doing a 225 turbo, 2.0 and 3 litre, itll be the 3 litre and EITHER the 225 (unlikely I think as perf would be v similar to the 3litre surely) or 2 litre.
