New model 172



  Astra 1.9cdti XP


Was looking at the cliors.com site and it has some info about a new 172 variant. The altavista translation is a bit weak but here goes...


Fruit of the partnership of Renault with Sony, CLIO RS PS2 is a special series with weak diffusion based on the reduction of the equipment. It thus takes again the principle of Ragnotti, with a name - Ps2- much less ambiguity and flattering... Available only in gray Iceberg, it is characterized by same the attributes esthetic as Ragnotti: blade of front avoid-shock, becquet back sport and rims alloy Speedline Turini. At the interior, one finds a fabric saddlery gray "mossa" dark and recalls your body on the rods of instrument panel, the wheel and the pommel of gear shift lever.

In order to counter the 206 RC, Renault Sport envisaged in its paperboards a last evolution of CLIO RS. This CLIO RS phase 3 should be born at the same time or a little after a general rehandling of range CLIO (without major aesthetic modification). Probably equipped with 180 cv to pass by again symbolically in front of the 206, it should receive a new line of exhaust. That Ci will be finished by a double exit - finally apparent, distinctive sign of the models Renault Sport (CLIO V6, next Mégane RS...). It should also be entitled to travelling trains still optimized as well as new rims. ????????????????????????????????????????????[/QUOTE]

Well.....that makes perfect sense to me :confused:

Im guessing the first one is half way between a Cup and a 172 in terms of specification, and is more a badging/sales exercise.

God knows about the next one. Surely if they were to produce a hotter version it would need more than 180bhp. All the journos keep pointing out that the Clio is loosing out in the HP stakes these days. Of course they never mention how its doing in the power to weight stakes!!!

The top one looks like mine :D

I think its a fake! There is a photo of the Cup just like that and it could have been modified to be silver.

im glad ive seen a clio now with the turinis on other than blue.i want some for mine now
 


Is that car avalable to the UK.

I prefer the looks of my Cup but like the sound of twin exhausts!

Renault eh, soo as you buy a car they bring out somthing better! (or is it?)

One of the features of the RS PS2 clio is:

Roue de secours remplacée par une bombe anti-crevaison

which apparently means...

Spare wheel replaced by an anti-puncture bomb

Sounds scary

Has anyone seen the performance specs on that site for the Mk1, Mk2 and Cup?

Mk1 0-60 : 6.9

Mk2 0-60 : 7.1

Cup 0-60 : 7.0

----------------------

Mk1 0-100 : 17.6

Mk2 0-100 : 18.0

Cup 0-100 : 17.7

----------------------

Mk1 1/4 mi. : 15.2

Mk2 1/4 mi. : 15.4

Cup 1/4 mi. : 15.3

Im suprised no-one on here with a Cup has gone ballistic and threatened to bomb them

as per those stats.. we all know they are bollox cause i personally have done 6.22 seconds in a mk2.. (2 up in the wet with half tank of fuel)
 


dunno mate, up to them where they get it.

But since most come with 166bhp (as the factory tells us and yes they are UK spec) then this will have 174bhp! lol

i dunno, seems very pointless.....getting another 20bhp out of that engine wont be hard. lazy freakin french
