    The French car maker, Renault has now announced the complete details and
    pricing of the all new Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo which will hit the
    dealerships in France in March 2013. The new model takes things onto a whole
    new level, both in terms of overall driver appeal and being able to enjoy every
    day. Under its sleek five-door bodyshell, New Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo packs
    the new Renaultsport-developed 200bhp, 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine, as well as
    its performance arm’s first EDC (Efficient Dual Clutch) transmission.

    Naturally, there is a liberal sprinkling of Renaultsport’s magic, including a
    few tricks learned from its motor sport success. Combine this with Renault’s
    very latest thinking when it comes to comfort and versatility, and you have a
    compelling car which is great to drive and easy to live with. But, when the mood
    takes them, drivers can also let it off its leash to become a genuine
    performance car, as well as a potent trackday car.In addition to its sensuous
    styling, the new Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo combines class-leading dynamics
    with impressively reduced fuel consumption and emissions, down by almost a
    quarter, so that it’s even cheaper to own. Designed and engineered by
    Renaultsport, the latest in a long line of iconic hot Clios is made in Dieppe,
    France, and targets those who appreciate beautiful cars and exacting purists
    alike.

    “New Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo joins the Renault Clio line-up at the very
    top, not only because of its performance potential, but also because of its
    exclusive appointments and specification. In addition to being ideally suited to
    everyday motoring, It impresses by the fact that it is so easy to drive, as well
    as by its unprecedented comfort and low fuel consumption which make it a more
    versatile machine than any other sporting Clio that has gone before it.”Said Ali

    It is obviously tempting to describe New Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo as the
    ‘flagship’ Clio. Needless to say, our purist customers – who have always been
    uncompromising when it comes to performance – will discover a car that is not
    only extremely fast, but also a thrill to drive and packed with unrivalled
    technical innovations. Indeed,
    Renault Sport Technologies has succeeded in bringing to life all the know-how it
    has gained in motor sport during the last decades in the design of New Clio
    Renaultsport 200 Turbo. It is a genuine Renaultsport model.”

    At the same time, our more pragmatic customers who are drawn by its look, but
    who tend to be wary of ‘radical’ cars, also promise to be won over very quickly.
    The settings of New Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo can be adjusted to deliver
    exceptional performance when required, or a more rational ride the rest of the
    time. In this market, where the quest for ‘high-end’ motoring enjoyment goes
    hand-in-hand with the search for performance, proposing two cars in one is a
    highly innovative approach.” Said Patrice Ratti (CEO, Renault Sport
    Technologies)
