Renault Clio Sport 200 Cup

Oct 24 2009

RENAULT engineers seem to be putting all their energies into making hot hatches and the Sport 200 Cup is no exception. Available in colors that one could never dream of, the Renault Clio Sport 200 Cup is going to make people reach for their sun shades. The engine has been tweaked to produce an additional 3bhp to the 197bhp it was already producing. The gear ratios have also been tweaked to increase the performance in all gears. The stiffer damping on the suspensions slightly degrades the ride quality on town roads. But once you are on smooth surfaces the car literally hugs the road.

The Renault Clio Sport 200 Cup is a thrilling car to drive and it is pretty fast and extremely sure footed. This hot hatch will have a lot of appeal for young buyers. They will definitely work the car loan calculators hard to make it an affordable buy. Renault has focused on performance and not on luxury in the 200 Cup. The Renault sport Recaro seats wrap the driver and the front SEAT occupant in a sports car feel. Air conditioning has been done away with. It can be added but at an extra cost. Cars giving the same performance will cost a lot more than the 200 Cup. The 200 Cup is good value for money, and buyers who understand cars will be furiously working on car loan calculators before rushing to Renault dealers to order this lovely hot hatch.
