New Clio R.S. - a passionate performer
Fourth-generation Clio R.S. thrills with its redefined styling and race technology.
Renault Sport is renowned for providing thrilling experiences that enable people to live their passion to the fullest.
Thanks to a successful motorsport history and a passion for new challenges, Renault creates world class race cars, and this self-same race car technology is applied to create versatile and exciting sports cars. Renault's incredible Renault Sport Models proudly embody the bridge between Renault and Formula 1.
The Renault Sport Clio is undeniably one of the most popular hot hatches, with its proven track record as one of the best handling and most rewarding cars on the market.
The long line of iconic Clio R.S. Models was boosted with the introduction of the Renault Sport Clio 200 & 200 Cup, which proved their worth in every road test entered.
Following on these illustrious Renault Sport Clio Models, it is with pride that the new Clio R.S. LUX and Clio R.S.Trophy models are introduced to the market, two even more formidable hot hatches, both further enriched thanks to Renault Sport expertise.
A world first
These Models boast the distinctive R.S. exterior design with specific sports cues (front and rear bumpers, large alloy wheels, visible double exhaust pipes, rear spoiler), but with a more enhanced and integrated exterior signature, which include new front and rear lights.
The front-end of the new Clio R.S. is visually broader by virtue of a specific bumper, and is complemented by LED multi-faceted lighting, for a distinct look and outstanding lighting performance.
The new Renault signature C-shaped pure vision led lights are extremely prominent on the front of the vehicle, flanked by the innovative R.S. vision chequered flag-shaped lighting within the front bumper, a highly efficient and adaptive lighting system, instantly recognizable through its unique design.
Other distinct and improved R.S. design prompts include specific R.S. badging below the larger Renault logo on the front and on the boot lid, new R.S. alloy wheels (17” on the Lux Model, and Gloss Black 18” on the Trophy) and specific sills, a rear that is distinguishable by a sporty spoiler, and a bold functional R.S. diffuser with a twin exhaust tail pipe.
The new Clio R.S. sports extremely rigorous build quality, with high quality interior finishes, to ensure maximum driving pleasure, and comfort. The specific Renault Sport touches within the cabin give the vehicle a qualitative finish, such as the eye-catching red detail around the air vents, and striking red stitching on the gear lever, handbrake and steering wheel. The R.S. driving experience is further enhanced through the enveloping Renault Sport bucket seats with extra side support, R.S. embossed headrests.
Power output and chassis
Two different types of chassis and petrol engines are available: the Clio R.S. Sport chassis on the Lux model, with 17” wheels emphasizing versatility and everyday use, and a Trophy chassis with 18” wheels, lowered by 20 mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear to place the focus firmly on driving pleasure.
The Lux version (200 hp) delivers an impressive 147 kW of power and the extremely powerful Trophy (220 hp) an exhilarating 162 kW, both mated to a six speed EDC dual-clutch automatic transmission with convenient steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts, enabling multi gear change down in quick succession with high-speed braking, a feature inspired directly via F1 technology.
Despite its high performance, the consumption of this R.S. vehicle is very controlled, with CO² emissions at 135 g/km and an impressive fuel consumption from only 5.9 l/ 100 km.
Intuitive R.S. features
The vibrant new Clio R.S. offers the full spectrum of Renault Sport technology for immediate driving pleasure. Uniquely in its segment, the Trophy version has an exclusive exhaust system, developed in tandem with industry specialist Akrapovic which has an instantly recognizable sound and ensures sprightly acceleration, improving vehicle performance
The R.S. driving experience is further enhanced through several highly advanced R.S. specific features i.e. Launch Control, R.S. Drive and an R.S. Monitor.
The Launch Control system emulates a true drag race experience enabling specific and sportive take-off of the vehicle with limited wheel spin. Through R.S. Drive, the driver can adjust the road handling behavior of the vehicle by switching driving modes from the three available (normal, sport and race). The R.S. monitor offers an intuitive interface for car settings and a more secure driving experience thanks to the ESP activatable even in Race Mode. Via this embedded Real telemetry system, a driver is able to record and replay his run.
Another brand differentiator is the specific R.S. Diff. The system enables the driver to retain traction and limit vehicle skidding by using ABS and ESP sensors, in conjunction with the vehicle's brakes.
The New Clio Renault Sport range is the ultimate testimony to the advancement of the R.S. technology, the perfect combination of refined cutting edge design, next level innovation, progressive R.S. features and exhilarating performance
All in all, allowing for a thrilling and intensified driving experience. - QuickPic
