Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 19 March 2013 09:00

This is the new Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo, and for hot hatch fans it’s as controversial as the latest PDK-only Porsche 911 GT3. Out has gone the old RS Clio 200’s rev-hungry naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine and manual gearbox, and in the pair’s place are a turbocharged 1.6 and dual-clutch transmission. Renaultsport is hoping the combination will appeal to a ...

Used cars: how to buy a second-hand Renault Clio 197/200 (2009-2012)

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 20 March 2012 09:00

While Peugeot dropped the hot-hatch ball after the 306 GTi-6, Renault never really let it go. Based on the third-generation Clio, the 197 debuted in 2006, and immediately went to the top of the class. Its fizzy, naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine paired brilliantly with a pointy front end and lively torsion-beam rear for a drive that out-classed the Golf GTI ...

Renault Clio Williams vs Ford Focus RS on CAR video

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 14 May 2010 07:00

The gods bore a surprising gift to CAR Magazine the other day: the very first and very pristine Renault Clio Williams, a hot hatch that makes many an enthusiast go misty-eyed at the very mention.A small logistical cock-up meant that the Willy turned up on a day when we weren't expecting it – so we rushed out without a camera ...

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 ...

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 ...
