More power and efficiency
Clio Renaultsport
200 is powered by the latest-specification normally-aspirated 2.0 16V
engine (F4R RS). With a specific power output of more than 100hp/litre,
this powerplant delivers an extremely high level of performance for the
hot hatch segment. In addition to the gains achieved at low revs, peak
power has been increased by 3hp to 200hp at 7,100rpm.
Meanwhile, the low-end (below 3,000rpm) torque boasted by Clio
Renaultsport 200 has been boosted by an impressive 20 per cent over
that of the 197 thanks to a new cylinder head and fine-tuning of the
engine mapping.
The first, second
and third gear ratios have all been shortened for punchier acceleration
and to facilitate motoring in built-up areas. This engine drives
through a manual six-speed gearbox (TL4) and claims maximum torque of
215Nm at 5,400rpm (compared with 5,500rpm for Clio Renaultsport 197).
Clio Renaultsport accelerates from standstill to 62mph in just 6.9
seconds and on to a top speed, where permissible, of 141mph.
Despite the power
increase, an illustration of the development work that has gone into
this powertrain has resulted in its fuel consumption and CO2 emissions being slightly reduced to 34.4mpg in the combined cycle and 195g/km.
TWO DISTINCT VERSIONS
To meet customer demand even more closely, the Clio Renaultsport 200 range is offered again in two distinct versions:
- Clio Renaultsport 200 Cup - for enthusiastic customers who are passionate about their driving. This version has the Cup chassis as standard
- Clio Renaultsport 200

version has a higher level of standard equipment. The Cup chassis
setting is available as an option.
