Renault Clio R.S. Trophy
Renault Sport is showcasing the new Renault Clio
R.S. Trophy at the 2016 Bologna Motor Show in Italy. The
Renault Clio R.S. Trophy has gained a number of enhancements, discussed in the
story.
The new Renault Clio R.S. Trophy 220 features R.S.
VISION lighting system as standard. R.S. Vision is the Renault’s branding for
the chequered flag-like LED lights in place of the horizontal strips seen on
the previous model. The new
lighting system co-ordinates the car’s fog lights, cornering lights, turn
signals and dipped and main beams for enhanced night-time visibility. The new
Renault Clio R.S. also features new 18-inch wheels and specific sills.
The new Renault Clio R.S. Trophy is powered by a
1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that churns out 220 hp and
280 Nm of torque. The model can be specified with a new Akrapovic exhaust
system which provides a distinctive exhaust note and ensures spirited acceleration.
Power is sent to the front wheels via the 6-speed EDC dual-clutch automatic
transmission. A 0-100 km/h sprint takes 6.6 seconds, and the car maxes out at
235 km/h.
The new Renault Clio R.S. Trophy 220 is priced at
€ 29,300 in France.
