Life after the 182

[16v_er]

just wondering if reno are making a new clio....? or have any plans for a new model for their small hatch market etc.

 

[mrk1]

Nope unfortunately its the Modus all the way from the summer

 

[JoelDee]

What about the 192?

 

[Lee]

Theres the new Clio later this year, then the RS model some time next year.

 

[subz]

yeah they are making a new clio but wont be out for a while. Do a search on the forums for the post. Not sure wot the next renaultsport clio will be but there is alot of speculation

 

[Lee]

Next RS should be around mid next year, 200bhp N/A 6 speed gearbox and better handling than the outgoing one according to the speculation posted on here.

and courtesy of levo it should look like this!

Except it will be 6 inches higher off the ground, and will have tyres, perhaps an engine between the front wheels even

 

[cupsportmad]

Surely the new forthcoming rs clio will be alot heavier than the 182, how are they going to make it as fun to drive as the current rs clio? The 182 might be the last of the great hatches.

That looks f**kin mean

 

[andy_leitch]

the one that levo did is seriously a nice piece of kit but in reality its going to look like that orange one and its just not progression. the current one looks nice and a progression to what levos chopped whould be great but it wont be. Itll be some sh*tty heavy minging pile!

I hate car manufacturers!

 

[Boz]

The orange one looks good, but actual one will sit a lot higher I expect

 

[benhwolves]

prefer the orange one myself the blue one looks like somert off the front cover of max power

Williams is undoubtedly one of the best, but it certainly was not the 1st mate...

A lot of superb hot hatches were out years before the Clio came along!

i think the 205 gti is considered the best/first although vw were officially the first with the mk 1 golf

[ESCOBAR]

lol - all pure specualtion, I read someone says a 6sp N/A 2litre - where does that info come from - Are people sitting at their keyboards and deciding what Renault Sport are going to do - "Next RS should be around mid next year, 200bhp N/A 6 speed gearbox " PLUCKING IT OUT THE SKY......



or are they just like Renault Sport employees / designers.



Fair enough with the pictures though,
