The new Clio was introduced to the public just a few weak ago but the french automaker is already putting the finishing touches on the racing version of the new Clio, called Clio RS Cup.
Renault has made over 3500km of track testing in several different racing tracks all over France and the new Clio RS Cup is, on average, over one second faster then its predecessor with the 2 liter atmospheric engine.
The new car has an 1.6 liter turbo engine with 220bhp and 370Nm, which is 20bhp and 30nm more then the road version, that was prepared by Oreca, joined by a sequential gearbox from APRacing, a front mechanical locking differential, new brakes from APRacing with 320mm in the front and four piston calipers, 17-inch Speedline Corse alloy wheels and ZF-Sachs adjustable suspension. Also it has the the normal safety features like a roll-cage, bucket seats and telemetry and data acquisition.
