Renault / RenaultSport

Is RenaultSport at a different factory to Renault?

Like, are 172s made at a different factory than a Dynamique?

Was it like this when the 16v/Williams was made too?

Thanks.

I think this is correct.
Someone told me that all 172s/Cups/V6s are made at a different factory to the rest of the clios.

Renaultsport is based in Dieppe and is a different factory to the rest of the range.

Ye there was a whole bunch of photos of the factory with them building 172 and racing white racing clios that were all stripped out (Cup racers ?)

I was under the impression that "normal" 172s were not built at dieppe ???

[Moby]

I love the air intake on the cup racers!

The Renaultsport factory in Dieppe builds all the 172s (now 182s) and will be building the new Renaultsport Megane.

 

[Andyman]

Wish the 172s all came that low from the factory!!!

 

[Tim-Grove]

Maybe the build quality would be a bit better if they were built in the main factory

@b@llsie that ´air-intake´ is only used for cooling of the brakes !

How come the second white one back, hasnt got black lights? Is there a white 172 available in France?

Also, according to a French brochure I picked up in France last summer, it used to be the case that only the Cups/Jean Ragnottis and the V6s were built in Dieppe, but now the 182 would be. It implied the standard 2l Sport was built in the main factory. If I can find it, Ill scan it and post it.

 

[tonykart]

nope thats only a transparant cover (you have them in ALL colours you like), the second white one is also a racer, look at the brake-coolers.

 

[Jon1978]

Where are these brake coolers? Where the fog lights should be?

 

[Daz]

Was it like this when the 16v/Williams was made? Or was it all in the main Renault factory then?

Jon, the above pic is about 3 years old and is the Dieppe factory, the 172s have always been built there!

 

[chris_leic172]

Jon, I have a load of photos I found on the internet of the Dieppe factory and there are loads showing the Mk2 172 being built.

 

[chris_leic172]

Here are a few more of the 172 being built in Dieppe:
