RENAULT CLIO SPORT 200 EDC

RENAULT CLIO SPORT 200 EDC

Date: 2014-11-14

"There's no doubt that the car benefits from Renault's very latest thinking when it comes to comfort and versatility and this is underscored by the Formula 1 expertise that Renault Sport Technologies (RST) has brought to the table," said Fabien Payzan, marketing vice president at Renault South Africa, while talking about the new Renault. "While its warm, sensuous lines place an accent on emotion, they also illustrate its pursuit of performance with the new Clio RS EDS combines benchmark dynamics with carefully optimized fuel consumption," he added.

This latest creation from RST stands out through the authenticity of its sporting hallmarks, which include specific bumpers and sills, twin exhaust tail-pipes and large-diameter wheels. While the five-door architecture and coupé stance contribute to its outstanding versatility, the sporting cues championed by Renault Sport are both forceful and simple.

"New Clio RS EDC joins the Renault Clio line-up at the very top; not only because of its performance potential but also because of its exclusive appointments and specification," says Ali Kassa•, programme vice-president, A/B Range, Renault.

The combination of the 1.6 turbocharged petrol engine with its 200hp/147 kW and 240Nm of torque, and a twin-clutch, six-speed gearbox, maintains startling performance when judged against the stopwatch: the 0 -100kph sprint takes just 6.7 seconds; it can cover 1 000 metres in just 27.1 seconds from a standing start and, on a racetrack, it's capable of reaching a remarkable top speed of 230kph.
