The thing people dont seem to realise is that putting more power etc through a clio is not something Renault will do.
They probably spent a fair few ££££ and time on testing, honing and perfecting the clio. To add a wedge more power would change things dramatically, that would require again ££££ and time to then hone and test. (maybe not in our eyes, but to Renault themselves it would).
This would need be done as I dont think Renaultsport are willing to lose thier great reviews and respected hot hatch builders title, just to please what would probably be a very small amount of buyers.
Look at the R26.R, yes they changed a fair few things, but chassis and engine wise, it stayed mainly the same. And still, that 'ultimate' megane took quite a while to sell all examples.
Dont get me wrong, I would love to see a Clio R26.R of sorts, but i just cant see Renault doing it.
Tho it would be great to get one a little lighter, with LSD, tit exhaust and cage!
I guess thats why I am tuning my car, to be everything I want it to be.
