200 is slightly quicker as they dropped the gearing on 2nd and 3rd gear...

Renault can not convince me with this one in a million years. I loved all Clio sports so far, I also loved all the Megane Sports but the previous one, this one I can't swallow and I know it won't grow on me either. It just looks....wrong!

Paddle shifts as the only option is not on...paddle shifts on the column instead on the steering wheel is simply fail. Period.

I have to admit though, it looks planted on the videos. But I don't care tbh.

So am I right in thinking that the electronic diff works by braking one of the front wheels in order to limit slip? Surely that could potentially mean finishing your front brakes in one full trackday?

Next time I'm lying in bed and can't sleep, I'm going to listen to the video of that 200T doing 0-60.

So the electronic diff is just the same as our ESP/traction control.. Not actually a diff then...

I also love how the engine noise is "an electronically operated diaphragm".. You mean a speaker... Muppets

Not a true diff, but if you offered me that feature on my car now I'd take it!

Also, the 458 has an e-diff:

'Ferrari in particular emphasizes their E-diff for 32% better longitudinal acceleration vs. the F430 and 1.25 second improvement in lap times at their Fiorano track.'

No, it's not a speaker.

I put some info up on this a few pages previous!!!

It all sounds good but the big killer for me is the flappy paddle gearbox. And, I'd rather have a high revving N/A. If I wanted a turbo'd F4R I'd buy a megane, would have a proper diff too

You can see the fuel guage dropping in that clip :001_huh:

Good spot :rofl:

That fish eye lens does not do the front end any favors

Bit odd those vids getting on youtube before the official renault ones.

Realistically when are you gonna use launch control? It's not like you hammer it outta the pits on a trackday?

Like what has been said before, it's aimed at a different market.

 

[N0ddie]

Traffic light GP?

 

[Robo_#1]

Just watched the vid, its looks......boring.

Nicer, less "style" wheels and a decent drop with a good spec and some carbon it might look a lot better. But as a standard package it looks VERY plain.

Every traffic light!!

I don't think launch control is a big selling point. It just makes sense to put it on because it works so well with the semi-auto 'box.
