This is it apparently - the last Renaultsport version of the current shape clio

- Has recaro seats inside (as per UK option)

- power remains the same

- further suspension tweaks...shock absorber adjustment apparently, plus little tweaks of the cup suspension

- One colour only - this red, which I dont think is inferno.

- 16 inch Anthracite coloured Speedline Turini wheels (same wheels as the original 172 Cup, but in a different colour)

- Thats all I know at this stage.

I think it looks alright. It will probably look better in the metal like most of the colours in the range....

Whatever it looks like, it will be a better drivers car.

Based on the 182 cup less unsprung weight, wider track (by using the wheel offset trick again) i reckon it might be a bit lighter too.

Proper 182 cup this time, but a what cost? style?

not sure I like it, especially as its cup spec, wouldnt do without my climate and xenons now im afraid.

Also was never a fan of the turinis anyway.

Oh and personally I think that is still inferno, it comes out that colour on some cameras so without having another set from a different camera to compare Id say its inferno.

I quite like them in that colour though. Good to see they dont have any issues with fitting that offset.

You can just buy the wheels in that or any other colour from Speedline, or just go to Demon Tweeks or somewhere.......

lol, good old Renault... theyre clearly releasing this car to get rid of the old chassis and parts, and expect us all to fall for it and buy loads.

The sad thing is... people will buy it, so well done Renault!

If its good, what does the reason it was made matter??

Look at the williams... that was a parts bin special and a marketing exercise. The fact that it also happens to be one of the best front drivers ever overshadows the real reason it was manufactured.

Odds are it will be the fastest best handling RS to date. Gets my thumbs up. Just dont like the colours
