clio rs 200 turbo uk spec details

[ashtons99]

Its worth watching just to see Harris at his supercool best. I defy anyone to provide a better and more objective road test on this car......least of all top gear.....maybe Tiff might be there

After watching the Harris video I'm not as "fond" of its looks as some pics have shown it.

At certain angles it just doesnt cut it and it definitely isnt aggressive looking and the standard seats really dont do anything for me. Needs buckets of some sort.

Definitely a car that'll need to be seen/driven in the flesh before mind can be made up for sure.

It also appears that the "slow gearbox" is only an issue when going down gears?

Yep, i think same about car looks with Chris. New RS have to have something special, what is different that the lady´s shopping cart in the petrol station. 197 and 200 was so cool because of the different body shape, brakes, bucket seats and so on. I can compare easily this clio for example polo gti. It is basic polo with some extras. And i want to test drive one, and see it in my own eyes what kind of car it is. I dont judge it yet.

sad day comparing the clio to a junior golf gti or polo :coffee:

Haha spot on ^

Bomb the factory quick smart, I really dont care how good it is the sight of it offends me.

As mentioned we all know the 200 was no looker but it still looked purposeful and i thought its derriere was quite pert myself this 200T doesnt look like an RS.

Chris Harris has spoken....

Was just looking on renault at a black twingo rs with black alloys. That wee machine looks so much better than that clio. Im actually considering going halfs with the misses I like it so much, black 200 and black twingo rs, awesome

The Twingo RS was on this week's 5th Gear on Discovery channel. Was up against the Swift Sport. Decision was that they are both great. Twingo looked better though.

The swift is very well equipped isn't it in comparison? Have to say I actually prefer the look of the Swift myself, always thought the Twingo looked like it'd been hit up the arse!

I actually think the 200 is purposeful in its look..the new 200 looks like its fat mate...

So I saw a new clio on the road today, verdict?

Looked brilliant, didn't look nowhere near as big as it does in pictures, it was black with red inserts on the door trims!

that A1 looks mean. I didn't get a word though, bloody Germans lol

 

[Robo_#1]

The A1 was a special edition, cost a fortune and they were all sold before they were even built IIRC.

All LHD as well, from memory they made 53 and they were ~£38,000.

There's a lad not far from me with one but I've only seen it on the road once, think it's part of a collection.

My sister and her boyfriend live in Switzerland and a guy in their apartment block owns one. It was kept for weeks under a cover in the basement after delivery before he drove it! It says 1of333 on the cover but I'm not sure if that means it's one of one hundred and thirty three or #1.
