I'd buy it! (colour doesn't suit the shape though)

240bhp? this should be interesting! but i think itll just be a 200 with gold wheels and blue paint

 

[joe18two]

I did wonder, couldnt find in the search though.

I bet it will shift having 240 bhp

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Meh believe it when I see it.

That's the Renault way, add a couple of well placed 'Williams' badges and some Recaros with Williams embroidered on them,
and they'll whack a few grand onto the price of a new 200 and boom, another 'limited addition'.

 

[not normal dan]

Can't see it having 240bhp as standard, plus with 197/200's having rather poor fuel consumption this is bound to be terrible

i dont see how any 200 being 'limited edition' can feel special, imo there's just way to many of them now and dont see how one is better than the other. renault got it right with the 182 having just the 'trophy' as a 'limited edition'

Looks nice to be honest. Hope it does get produced.
Fuel would be a nightmare though.

It wont be N/A and 240bhp, they just cant reliably get that power out of the F4R, maybe they will do an F4RT one but it seems highly unlikely, thats probably just a rubbish motoring journo who doesnt know much about engines getting carried away when asked to fabricate a story with basically no available facts yet.

Last time though the williams did have an uprated box, bigger engine, more power, more torque, wider track etc.

Ie it was a genuine and noticeable improvement on the car it was based on.

I really hope they stick to that level of commitment to making it an epic little car if they do go ahead with it.

 

[joe18two]

True about the limited edition thing, Renault seem to love doing them, I'm sure they can squeeze another limited edition 200 before they release the mk4

 

[Chip-mk1]

I think the 200 signifies how many ltd edition runs they aim to get out of that shape car TBH

 

[Flat Eric]

Too many limited editions takes away the 'special' side to the fact it's limited edition.

 

[joe18two]

They should of just had a 197 trophy and then a 200 trophy, they would have been pretty special

 

[welshname]

It's either going to be epic, slightly bigger engine (don't think they can actually bore the F4R out enough to make it worthwhile, and a few other tasty handling choices (fingers crossed they don't decide to fit bigger wheels).

Or it's going to be mega s**t, basically a FF 200 with a plaque and in blue.

 

[Matt W]

Saw this a few months ago. Doubt it'll be made.

 

[KFRRS94]

The post on that website is a year old, and in the pic the car has a '10 plate on it.. I think they scrapped that idea or it never existed.

PLUS, that pic looks like they've just shopped a standard 200.

 

[Addicted]

Let's hope it's awesome, otherwise it'll be another huge disappointment in this "limited edition" 200 range.

 

[jamesd1263]

Maybe limited edition will soon mean standard lol

 

[Feirny]

Yawn.
