Renault presented in Paris concept Clio R. S. 16

Charged hatchback Renault Clio and Megane has gained high popularity in Europe and is among the best in its class. This year the French company has decided not to take positions, and presented at the Paris motor show concept Clio R. S. 16. Power 270 HP (201 kW) from a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine (also used in Megane R. S. 275 Trophy-R) will be enough. Charged in both models uses a 6-speed manual transmission.

R. S. 16 openly declares its power, since Renault Sport made the body is 60 mm wider. And under the massive wings are 19-inch wheels. Engineers are confident that the hatchback will be able to win any race, so the fog lamps made in the style of chequered flags. Also a bright yellow body color immediately catches the eye.

R. S. 16 is still only a concept, but Renault Sport is seriously considering the possibility of entering the serial version and will show the model at the Monaco Grand Prix and the Festival of speed at Goodwood. If the hatchback will be put into production, the company will not have much strain. all main parts of Renault already have so you only need to ensure their correct operation. The model will hardly cheap, but will definitely gain the attention.

We hope to see R. S 16 on the city streets and look at his fight with the main hatchback Paris motor show - Honda concept Civic Type R. it is Reported that the capacity of the Japanese model from the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine is 300 HP (224 kW). But it is worth remembering that more Civic Clio. Large capacity will give the Civic Type R the advantage on the straight, but the compact Renault can fight for the lead on the turns. It would be an interesting race.
