new clio sport

[quickshift]

hello people just wondering if anyone has any news on this car when its due out etc ?

 

[edde]

Its due out Summer 2006.

The new shape Clios however will be out end of the year.

Its a sub 200hp engine car with a 6 speed box.

Supposed to be lighter and better handling than the present 182s/Cups.

Its apparently going to have the card system that the Nissan Micra uses and its going to share the wiring bits with the Micra.

No offence to the NISMO massive but....... a bit worried about this...

"Nissan Micra uses and its going to share the wiring bits with the Micra"

As long as thats all it shares I guess I can live with that....

 

[172 Exclusive]

The Micra and the Modus are built in the same factory and share almost everything.. and so it would seem the new Clio...

actually, id much rather jap wiring than french wiring. but no more please!!! dont want a gay car

Read in autoexpress that theres gonna be a renaultsport Modus! They had pic of one with cup alloys and holes in the rear bumper for twin exhausts

The new Clio will be based on the micras B platform, which I think renault desigined anyway.

Most probably is almost exactly the same.

The nissan neo VVL system was Vtec under licence, so now that renault has it, might possibly well have Vtec in the future.

The ability of the car etc sounds good but im worried about look to be honest!
