Renaultsport Megane 250 Cup (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 21 October 2009 09:37

It’s been a big year for hot hatches, with the Golf GTI, Focus RS and Scirocco R fighting it out to name but three. Renault’s last-gen Megane R26R is still a match for them all despite its age, and now the French hot hatch expert is piling on the pressure with this, the all-new Megane 250. What are the headline ...

Renaultsport Twingo 133 Cup (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 05 October 2009 11:45

Renaultsport does a rather fine line in hot hatches. The outgoing R26R is amazing, the Clio 200 is brilliant, and we’re all fans of the tiny Twingo 133. And now there’s a new Renaultsport Twingo 133, the Cup. But I can already spec a Cup chassis on the Renaultsport Twingo 133, so what’s new? Pen and paper at the ready, ...

Renault Clio GT (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 09 May 2009 16:00

The new Renaultsport Clio 200 Cup might currently be in the spotlight, but there’s another quick Clio lurking in the shadows that deserves its fair share of attention: the GT. Is the Renault Clio GT another Renaultsport derivative, is it? No, no, the GT acts as a next best thing, a kind of warm hatch that’s cheaper to insure, less polluting ...

Renault Clio Renaultsport 200 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 01 May 2009 10:45

We’ve long been fans of the Clio 197 Cup here at CAR, so when Renault invited us to drive the new 200 Cup at Portugal’s Braga circuit, we were there before you could say Renault Megane Renaultsport F1 Team R26. It’s a facelift! What a lot of fuss over 3bhp... Actually, the revisions are more extensive than that. Sure, there’s ...

Renaultsport Megane R26R (2008) CAR review and video

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 27 October 2008 11:00

Dreaming of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS but living with a hot hatch budget? Renault’s stripped-to-the-bones Megane R26R is the answer. Based on the acclaimed R26, the R version is the most extreme factory hatch since Renault’s own Clio V6. But instead of adding a big engine and more kilos, Renault has left the engine alone and cut out the ...

Renault Clio Cup (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Nick Trott, 24 September 2008 09:00

The Clio Renaultsport Cup is the third Clio to receive the ‘Cup’ moniker. Following in the wheel tracks and skidmarks of the deeply entertaining Clio II 172 Cup and 182 Cup, the Clio Renaultsport 197 Cup features the same suspension set-up as the limited edition Clio 197 R27, taller 5th and 6th gear ratios and optional air conditioning. So, it’s ...

Renault Twingo Renaultsport 133 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 29 August 2008 15:18

Renault has just unleashed the Twingo Renaultsport. It's the £11,500 little brother to the Clio 197, so it's a bargain, but is it any good? A new-to-the-range 1.6-litre engine provides decent grunt, but the base car is boring to drive - let's find out if Renaultsport has worked a miracle. Forget the Mini Cooper, I want one of those Twingo ...

Renault Megane Coupe Concept (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ged Maxwell, 31 March 2008 09:07

Even Renault people admit the current Megane is something of a Marmite car: you either love it or hate it. But that could be about to change as Renault reveals a replacement this autumn.  Where does the Coupe Concept fit into that plan? It gives an idea of what the current Megane’s successor will look like when a production version is unveiled ...

Renault Clio Grand Tour concept (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

James Foxall, 08 August 2007 08:31

It’s called the Grand Tour but it looks just like a Clio Estate to me… Well spotted - that’s exactly what this is. It's simply the concept version that was built for the Geneva Motor Show 2007 as a preview to the Estate. Renault is revealing a proper roadgoing version at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September. The car we’ve ...

Renault Clio 197 R27 (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Richard Aucock, 25 April 2007 09:08

The Clio F1 Team R27. That's the 197 special edition named after this year's slothful F1 car, right? Ooh, get you. We should be feeling sympathy for Renault. It wraps up the World Championship with the R26 racer, launches a brilliant Megane special edition boasting the same name, and can do no wrong. But, so far, the new R27 F1 ...
