The 1.2 100BHP SX turbo is 10.7 0-60 :S

 

[Bloooor]

Lot of lard with the Mk3 remember. Sounds about right really.

Clio TomTom lol! And £12k for SX ouch.

 

[anthrogan]

Same as the Punto GT type idea. Not really uber quick but a cult classic!

 

[J182sport]

thats the same engine thats going to be in the New twingo! but in the twingo im sure it will be faster than in the lard a** clio! looks quit nice tho imo.cheap insurance and in the future larger turbo mods!! ect.

 

[brocky16v]

12 grand and you still only get 2 speakers?! Frenchies still being tight there then!

11.1.

 

[seb]

11.5k isn't it? or am i reading something wrongly?

 

[Pep]

whats wrong with me?!i'm starting to like the looks of these more and more!

the sx sounds cool, i wouldn't mind one to be honest it looks good, will be fairly nippy, and plenty of room for mods, might see what price they are a year after being released, could be a nice little run around for someone!

Didnt the punto have a 6 speed box? PLus they were quite light, the Clio is big and heavy, doesnt say if its a 6 speed or not.

"Canasta alloy wheels" on the SX

Great choice of name - I'm sure Canasta is the name of a cream for a certain "lady problem" lol. Bloody advertising sticks in your head.

 

[Kneel]

The 1.2 turbo would be a nice replacement for the 1.2 16v in a mk2 ph1/2 for example though.

 

[_Kenny_]

SX looks quite tasty imo pricy tho

 

[Martin_172]

anyone know any technical details on this turbo engine yet?

is it based on the D7F 16v engine? if so Matt black sell me an inlet manifold, exhaust manifold and turbo please when you get one in stock lol

lol

 

[Dan 172]

The 0-60 isn't bad for a 1.2 in a big car really!

Plus what with a remap and a few extra mods you might be able to get up to around 125bhp?

punto was only 5 speed. 1.4 turbo too not a 1.2. was about the same spec as the valver (ish) o-60 wise....

 

[RichMcc]

LOL how many years does the normal 1.2 take to get to 60 if the turbo one does it in 10?
These cars are just too heavy, if I bought one I would probably spend more time ripping bits off it than I would tuning it

That's Canastan cream. Castanets are the Spanish clack clack things. Canasta is a card game. Strange choice of name either way!

 

[JJ!]

60mph in 10.7 seconds is not bad for a 1.2 Turbo TBH!

 

[FincH]

Clio SX Cup?

Finaly a petrol Clio Turbo! I'm sure it'll be fun and have plenty of tuning options.

Improved performance for a 1.2 and reduced emissions and economy when compared to larger engined car with a similar output.

Vauxhall have just done it to the Astra, went from a 1.8 to a 1.6 turbo. quicker to by all accounts.
