Surprised PH have published the article off the back of an internet rumour.
Even more surprising then!Especially as it's not even a rumour...the forum/poster it came from were quite open that it was their own wish list...i.e. what they wanted Renault to make.
m.palmer said:Talking about this issue for months, and let's hope for the return of Renault Sport, fun and effective as we like. The new Clio RS was born with various in different chassis and engine, but it lacks that something to be ahead of their competitors. The Clio RS oral and Carlos Tavares will be named Gordini.
With some recovered items here ekeii, we created our own Clio Gordini RS as we would like to recommend it to Renault to debut the market next year and presented at the Paris Motor Show in 2014.
Renault Clio Gordini RS EDC
- L4 turbocharged 1618 cm3
- 6200trs/min 230 hp, 285 Nm at 2000
- New exhaust stainless steel
- Re gearbox BVS6 EDC, for even faster gear changes
- Chassis Cup, but lower by 10 mm
- Revised and enhanced braking system in collaboration with Brembo (like the Megane RS)
- Reduce weight 25/30 kg (~ 1175 - 1180 kg)
- Final: 250 km / h
- 0-100 km / h: 6,0
I did lol when I seen the link on Twitter. KumKum's wet list of his Gordini dream!
Thinking back through all the special editions of RS clios, none of them got a power increase so it'd be a surprise if they did it this time.
