Does anyone know if there are any plans for further 197 models? Maybe a Trophy or somat?

Dont wanna buy one and then get cheesed off when Renault bring out another model two weeks later.

Renault are forever bringing out new models, they always have. It doesn't matter when you buy, there will always be a newer model in the pipeline.

true. and just cos its harder, more focused doesnt actually make it a better day to day road car imo.

Go on the www.renaultsport.co.uk site join up and ask the experts.

Very useful site.

:)

I can't see someone from Renault UK telling a prospective buyer "don't buy now wait 'til a newer and uprated version comes out." They want to sell cars. The only semi-official line on a 197 update in the pipeline is a Cup pack being made available as an option on the 197. Which will probably come out when almost all of the F1 R27s have been sold. So probably November 07.

the R27 or whatever it is has the first cup chassis on a road going 197, so the cup is coming, then probably the trophy too.
 
There will also be a mid-cycle face lift of course, and then another 3 derivatives after that with the Renaultsport Clio F1 Team 225Uber R32 being released about a month before the all new 1800kg Clio IV is released.

And around we go again :D

It's a bit academic to me really what further versions come out, they will be hugely expensive for the performance they have , and less nippy and user friendly than my current steed.

How can a car be less user friendly? :S

Its no kit car.......
 
A 197 is easier to park than a 182. At least you don't have to try and avoid full lock for fear of the suspension creaking like it's made out of old parts of ships.
