2010 New Renault Clio S Pictures
Every so often, Renault impresses and teases us with the barrage of a new hot hatch. Impresses because they're broadly rated as some of the best dynamically competent micro-machines on the alley today. Teases because, well...they don't action them in North America. So all we can do is adore from away such offerings as the Twingo 133 Cup, Clio 200 and Megane R26.R, to name aloof a few.
The ambit is set to aggrandize both upwards (with the brand of the new Gordini line-up) and downwards (with the acceptance of the GT range), but every already in a while, Renault fakes us out with article that aback it comes bottomward to it, absolutely alone looks the part. The World Series editions were one contempo example, and now the French automaker has launched the Clio S for the British market.
Sure, the Clio S looks the part. It's got 16-inch wheels, a addle-brain on the abaft bend of its roof, a advanced lip addle-brain beneath the grille and antagonism stripes galore, all done up in allegory white. But the Clio S lacks the go to aback up the show. Engines are bound to 75- and 100-horsepower fours and an 86-hp diesel. Not absolutely Renaultsport figures, but again neither are their prices, alignment from £11,209 to £13,458 all-in (that's about $18k-22k USD, not accounting for the UK market's aggrandized pricing). So for the moment, we can blow accessible this time around, neither afflicted nor enticed.
