Still a cracking bit of kit out of the factory, regardless of the people who will buy them. You could say the same thing about people who buy and drive BMW M cars.

I doubt half of them sold will ever see a track, which will be a shame.
I've got a lot of mates who spend endless amounts of time and money building 'track weapons' only for them to do one or two trackdays, and get overtaken by me in my Ignis. I'd rather do lots of trackdays in a cheap car than one trackday in an awesome car, but that's just me.

You can spec it to the ring car. The car is also delivered with the exact same suspension set up as was used to set the record at the ring as well.
You're right about the target time though!

I'd imagine that it was running a full custom map to get the very best out of the engine that was installed in the car as opposed to the standard run of the mill map on the 275's from the factory. Everything would've been optimised on that car imo, and the majority of the cars that go for these lap records at the ring.

The problem is that they only get the ring for half an hour at 7am in the morning, and that's the window they had to play with. The circuit was really greasy as it'd rained the night before. Would easily go around there quicker I reckon.
Thats expensive! That's base spec I imagine ?

No it's based on GT line so has all the toys. Tom Tom/ Climate/ Cruise/ Sports seat/ Renaultsport chassis etc etc.
Ahh that's pretty good then

Gt220 sounds awesome!

Yeah spotted that. It seems that the UK allocation was sold by midday on the first day of sales opening.
(edit) Beaten to it by The Boosh above, oh well.

That would suggest that there is still a market for decent RenaultSport/more extreme products then!!!
So when is the 200T getting its 1st facelift?
Cant see it personally.
The meg was advertised as going to beat the 8 mins
its a limited run
it did beat the 8 mins
just because they sold 30 in 4 hours doesn't mean they'll do that with any other car.
Im willing to bet they wouldn't have gone that quick if it wasn't a limited run either

I think if they push a more *sport orientated 200t in the way they did with the meg trophy-r, they'd sell well.
*Obviously it'd have to be better than the poor offering they have ATM and be able to contend with the pug 208/rcz gti r, NISMO juke r, fiesta st mountune etc etc for the enthusiast section of the public to take any interest.
