It's a 22k car with a Megane Trophy R engine and running gear plus some other bits and bobs. If you was going to do the same it would cost about that and also it will come with a warranty from Renault and Prestige of owning a very, very limited edition if they decide to make it. So I think if it goes for 35k or less then it would be worth it for some people. I also predict it will try and snatch the ring record off VW.

Let's be realistic though, it's not a 22k car that they strip the engine out of and throw away.
Of course taking a car off the production line and altering it (I'm presuming this is what they'd do) will not be cheap at all. However it's still a hot hatch so as soon as they start going into the 30s with a Clio then it becomes that much more exclusive. It'll sell and it'll probably be a sound investment for those that get one.
But it's definitely a collectable and I can't imagine many will buy it to drive to the shops (assuming it hits the showrooms with harnesses!!)
I'd 100% have one based on what we've seen so far. But for the money would I have one over a FRS? Don't think so.
