Only if they win something I'd suspect. The last Williams were for their past success. The R26 and R27 were for success is the noughties.

Though Renault are famous for making a LTD edition out of nothing?

Could be a good final edition of the current 2.0L N/A engine .......

 

[GrumpyTwig]

It'd have a better colour scheme than the Gordini at least

I'd rather see a Clio r27.r to be honest.

With emissions I can't see them squeezing anymore out the decade old f4r n/a. Not enough to be excited about anyway.

I would love an .r version too. I would also be happy with a genuine 210/220bhp which, shouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility.

factory fit F4RT, or factory fit ITB's. That would be COOL

Also a touch ambitious but I can see where you are coming from!

Well I honestly think we could have a proper special edition if Red Bull win another world championship, TBH it looks like the season will be wrapped up soon enough for Renault to begin some serious development work - whatever happened to the RenaultSport guys going nuts and creating a monster!?!?!? Trophy, V6, R26.R????

:bounce:

F4RT

...Hehehe

 

[Graeme GTR]

ideally if they could get the F4RT into the renault WIND. :nope:


Clio 200R with full Redbull vinyls... and KERS

 

[Arran]

Sounds great, but I doubt it'll happen with the power gains.

A RenaultSport guy on their official forum said it was pure speculation, no fact in the article at all (as usual).

He said they do hope to do 'something' but it all depends on what the commercials are between the two companies to what level they can work at.

The engine would need some serious development to get 220bhp from it though, bear in mind they normally nudge 190 in the real world..

The guys on the RS forum also rubbished the Silverstone GP, stating it was merely an idea.

an extra 40hp from the fr4......they will be fitting the megane turbo engine then

If they do, I'd chop my 2011 Clio 200 in instantly. I don't think RenaultSport do crazy things like that anymore, which is a shame!

Looking at the photoshop on that website I think it looks naff. Don't think the 200 suits the Williams blue and gold wheels.

No doubt it'll be hideously expensive also.

noddie - autoexpress guessed at 25k.
as someone has said, a renault insider has said it's all bol locks, as per auto express usual...

 

[Paul]

I love auto express photoshops, they really get people talking!

I would also love one of these to roll of the production line - however I can't see it!
