New Megane & Clio Turbo!

[d34rds]

Ive heard talk from my mate who works for Renault & now seen on www.evo.com , renault will be releasing a new shape megane 2 litre turbo with 200 bhp+ with TVR setup suspension. Lots more info on it at http://www.evo.comwww.evo.com. Now Ive been told that Renault are going to realease a new shape clio with the 2 litre turbo lump in it, anyone got any info or heard anything about it??

Yes its been mentioned on here before, personally If a turbo clio does come out I will be putting my deposit down for it.. as long as it doesnt look anything remotly like the new megane.

Oh and its TWR hehe.

The new Megane is actually growing on me now...

A turbod Clio is gonna be a winner though!!!

 

[Faboka]

Meganes not nice. Inside looks cheap. But itll go like sh*t so it gets my vote.

A turbo-d clio, as in the new shape clio in 2004/5 or on the current model?

NA is superior thou. More responsive, more fun but more expensive to build and tune! Nicer engine note etc... This is my personal opinion. Soon only supercars will have high output NA engine

Right let me clear this up

The new Clio isnt due until at least 2005.

The Latest shape clio will not get the turbo lump next year. the megane will.

Isnt the "new clio" going to be a nissan micra, I read that in a car magazine this month, renault are going to use the micra as the new platform for the new clio.

Or vice versa. yep

i would rather see the new clio being NA power rather than turbo-charge, as imo only 4wd or rwd would benefit most from a turbo engine, a 200bhp na engine would be great, and suspension tunning by Lotus would also fair alot better than TWR i think.

arnt reanault teaming up with nissan to make the next 1 ?

Has anyone done a search on theat Megan registration and see what it turns up as?

Why did they put the stupid paintowrk on it. Noone would look twice if it was normal coloured.

As the new Clio is due out in 2005 how come no-one has seen it yet they must be making the panels for it for test versions. Ok so they could be testing the engines and stuff in the new Micras without people noticing on the roads as its the same floor plan they share but somone must have an idea what it will look like.

The clio ccould be fitted with a 2 liter turbo engine from the Laguna and so I guess thats what they will do for cost. Developing a more powerful N/A engine would be to expensive and they would have to rev it to CTR revs which has disadvantages.

Why dont they drop a 2.2 Laguna diesel engine under the bonnet of the new Clio and remap it to 180hp making it just as fast top end as the present clio that would be excellent with all that torque.

Id have a turbod clio anyday. But as its not coming out for a few years ill have got something better by then.

 

[paddymph]

i did a search on it and it couldnt find the reg!

am i the only one who thinks that looks ACE? (except the inside -thats cheapo sh*te)

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

Im starting to save right now.

 

[lauraold]

looking that way

the front end would be far to heavy
