ULTIMATE SERIE… HAS forces evolutions and modifications, the Renault Clio RS became an essential GTI on the market, and puts itself even in reference regarding homogénéité. His broadcasting through europe corroborates this phenomenon. Last evolution in dates of which take advantage unfortunately uniquely Switzerland and the English, the Renault Clio RS Trophy, resuming thus the name of the Mégane RS of the same name. To the program, a chassis to the small onions and a presentation again more athletic. The amateurs of the gone out clubs will appreciate...

The Clio Renault Sport knows an ultimate evolution with the limited series Trophy. A 'collector' reserved to the fascinated Great Britain and of Switzerland. Without touching on the motor, Renault Sport tried to increase his performance level and of effectiveness. They capitalized the expertise of the competition with the Renault Clio Supe 1600. This gain was obtained by an optimisation work of the chassis sport with the objective to improve the passage capacity some bends… all while trying to preserve a playful behavior. Indeed, this is a true karting! This is not John Ragnotti, that tried and approved the car, that will say the opposite! The work was realized on the suspensions before: the springs - that have the same stiffness - shorter and the shock absorbers are diverted from competition (evolved new shock absorbers. A bombonne allowing interning close to 50% of gasses and oil of the shock absorber brought up. A better quality of the hydraulic components (system of clapeterie) allowing a better dynamic functioning is studied. The force leg is more rigid -diameter stem 25 mm instea


d of 20 mm on a shock absorber chassis sport- to minimize the torsions of the train). All this contributes to more of effectiveness and of endurance. The stiffer cushioning laws of 30%, this that induced a better cash register maintenance all in now an acceptable comfort on road. The cash register movements were limited while lowering the cash register height of 10 millimeters.

AN EQUIPMENT SPECIFIQUE… The Renault Sport Clio RS Trophy possesses a specific definition that is for him clean and the compares in a way Renault Clio RS Team equipped of the pack Circuit. The chassis, one saw it previously is therefore more athletic in his definition and its réglages. The esp is déconnectable this that will gladden the conduit amateurs on circuit looking for to exercise itself to the laws of the transfers of masses. The very beautiful jantes allage Turni 16 thumbs replace the one borrowed from the Renault Mégane RS. All the environment of the Renault Clio RS Trophy is circuit évocateur and competition with seats tubs Recaro very envelopping (driver…, pardon pilots it!, is sat 10 mm lower), a double gone out of exhaust, pedals of brakes in aluminum. Nevertheless, Renault Sport did not forget that the sport amateurs sometimes can roll to the newspaper, and for them Renault Sport left air-conditioning, the regulating and speed limiteur and a radio CD 4x22 W. The tariff in Switzerland is of 30 990 CHF (be about 20 000 Euros) and 15 500 £ (be about 23 300 Euros) in Great Britain. Finally, this Renault Clio Trophy is not available in France but does not correspond or to a Renault Clio RS Team, or to a Renault Clio RS 2004. The Renault Clio RS Trophy uniquely is delivered some tinted lively red with specific marquages on the bavolets. The becquet of the vehicles intend for Great Britain is the one of the Renault Clio V6, while the swiss vehicles inherited becquet competition.

: : CONCLUSION Cry my brothers, since the French market is deprived of this Renault Clio RS Trophy. Damage, for I would have well seen a last honor baroud in this definition to defend the last months of the Renault Clio 3, that knew to become very alluring and convincing with the passing of the top of the line. While Peugeot seems totally to have forgotten his athletic clientele of the years 80 with products not very exciting and immobilized, Renault listens its customers, corrects its errors and refines its models. Finally, despite some read critics that and there in the press, Renault still remains and always a builder with the craving of the sport automobile. This Renault Clio RS Trophy some is the living proof...
