If the Renaultsport Clio is too hot for you to handle, then take a look at the warm GT model. It bridges the gap between the range-topper and lesser models, offering sportier looks and a sharper drive, but without the same thirst for petrol or the price tag of the flagship.
Our example immediately stood out thanks to its exclusive Malta Blue paint, 16-inch anthracite alloys and twin exhausts, while a gloss-black grille and chunky bodykit complete the aggressive styling tweaks. But the GT is more than just a pretty face.
For added body control, the front and rear springs have been stiffened by 15 per cent, and the power steering has been quickened for a more direct feel.
Two engines are on offer, the 1.5 dCi 106 diesel or a 126bhp 1.6-litre petrol unit exclusive to the GT. We tested the latter, which appears to be no slouch on paper, but in reality felt short of puff and produced a booming noise that became tiresome on the motorway.
The GT is sure to win many admirers for its looks, polished handling and excellent value, but it’s a shame that Renault didn’t see fit add another 25bhp. That would distance it further from the base models without threatening the 200.
Rival: Suzuki Swift Sport
The small Suzuki serves up massive of fun and is excellent value. Its modern design cements the Swift’s place as an unexpected performance hero.
Nice one !, sparky like or something else?
i spotted 2 on a transporter an dare i say it ive fallen in love on paper it does sound good 130bhp 0-62 in 9.3 1140 kg quicker then a zetec s 1.6 118bhp 9.6 970 kg weights the killer be interesting to see which handles better in the twistys
Yeah another sparky job "Fixed Electrical Test Engineer" makes me sound important lol !!!

According to the Configurator online your allowed:
"However, while the Twingo-sourced powerplant might be strong enough in Renault's baby, it feels a little underpowered in the GT. Frankly, you need to work pretty hard to maintain decent progress on a twisty road, and if hills are involved then you'll need frequent downshifts. A slightly thrashy tone does the engine few favours either."
Wonder why they didn't keep the 2.0L from the 138? Insurance?
Think it was because emissions and stuff. They've got a 1.6 125bhp now and a 1.4 turbo 130bhp which is in the new scenics and is also going in the new gordini range. Theres also a new 1.6dci coming out instead of the 1.9dci.
Got some pics of the new clio GT in blue which we got in the other day. Will upload em soon. Didn't think much to it at first, but with a numberplate on it does look better. Breaks up that stupid black bit at the front.
yer did hear that
everyone ive seen is blue :S
Same here! Everyone transporter that has turned up with them on has only had blue ones on!
