[Serg]

I know its not a clio but myself and a focus decide to have abit of a 'fun drive' and my god can the RS shift admittedly i wasnt reving to the top only about 5k revs. So what does power the RS??

2.5 turbo engine iirc

 

[MarkM]

approx 220bhp.
turbocharged 2litre so it will have much higher torque at lower revs then the clio. So its in gear times will be much quicker.

i test drove one 2 weeks ago, theyre lovely to drive! really nice cars, a lot more comfortable than the clio and they are quick but tbh dont feel much quicker than my 172? obviously with the turbo it pulls a lot lower down but both flat out, i dont think there is much in it. In gear, it would be much quicker than 172/182s though. Id love one if they werent about 15-18k!!!

And best of all they are the same insurance group as the 172, Group 16.

6.2 to 60 is quite quick and 310Nm is alot compared to a 172s 200Nm (i think)...
