World premiere of new Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo!

[frediiii]

I wonder if they used the juke DSG box as well, as I believe it's rated for 250nm max.

When going to the site of Shiftech (where I remapped my car) and go the Nissan Juke 1.6 Turbo they say they can map that engine to 300 Nm.

Can buy mine so I can upgrade ;-) haha

You'll want to get rid of your car before the finance is up too... You'll end up paying way too much for the car

:'( i hate you.. How much in a year or two maybe youll want to downgrade to a sexy 1.2 twingo

 

[Bones]

Just as long as your past the 'break even' point of when the car value will pay off the settlement!

 

[Mr slippyfist]

I'm not sold on that.. Paddle gears!!! More to go wrong & 5 doors?? Wtf.. I'll stick with picking up a nice megane trophy 265.. & still only 200bhp pointless ..

 

[MovingShadow]

If they would give it more horsepower it would come within the range of the Megane.

265 is kind of in another category and price range though surely?

Like its been said, much more than 200 horses and your touching on 225 territory, which in Renaults eyes would be more 'pointless'

Megane RS 3 (265) can be easly tuned 300+ HP i think the new Clio RS will hit around 220+ HP easily we will all have to wait to see how much power the double clutch system can take

Wow, that's look really nice! love it!

 

[Jordysportracing]

Simulated engine noise? Is that because the juke engine sounds shite?

ZING! Hahaha.

Although, Lichfield have a Juke with the DIG-T engine they're using as a Ring Project in Banzai...or was it Jap Performance :S the engine certainly has potential though.

RS' should be something special, for me, this isn't.

renaultsport have confirmed this has been taken out of context, its not like the BMW m5(i think it is?) system where the car makes noise thru the speakers because it doesnt make much engine noise, this is an app "for fun" to make your car sound like an f1 car, however it can be turned off and the car does make a nice noise complete with bangs on gear changes when in RS mode.

Renaultsport have also confirmed it "drives like a renaultsport"

clio 200 chassis but a bit wider, lower and lighter! it should be a riot.

semi auto flappy paddle box though i cant say im excited about!

listen to the bang on downchange at 1:44...

Now that's not any small pop an bang really!! Interesting!!

 

[GhostZ]

im starting to think they de-cated that model to "show off" the car in a more violent way to make ppl look at it , but still awesome sound wonder if militek will make a full exhaust system for this

 

[Matt]

It doesn't sound quite right under acceleration, sort of backing up GhostZ's opinion...

But, even if that's not the true exhaust note from the car - it shows what it CAN sound like.

A lot of the Megane owners have removed their backboxes in order to get a nicer exhaust note and pops... I imagine the new Clio would take to this in the same way.

i wonder no backbox for the RS hmmmm

 

[MovingShadow]

That sounded awesome!

The GT86 or the new Clio RS are on my wish list.

With no boxes the Twingo pops on pretty much every gearchange, but it's a bit too loud really
