Renault Clio 182 Tophy review | Rush Magazine

Renaultsport's Dieppe operation has given us some of the best hot hatches over the years, but the 182 Trophy might just be their finest hour

Great read

Believe the thinner lightweight glass on the 172 Cup is total BS.

That’s my car #151.

No. Chris the previous owner did just before I bought it.

Nope. It’s 5 kg lighter than standard 172 glass, an owner on Cliosport weighed both sets. A small difference on its own but it all added up to a 89 kg saving over standard. Significant when it was only 1,110 kg to start with.
It also has thinner carpets, less sound deadening and even a smaller washer bottle.
Proper homologation car you see.

What a brilliant article,thanks for the link Nick.

I've never heard about Rush before so I can only guess they are fairly new?

Anyone lucky enough to have a Trophy or any of the 172/182 Gen cars must be itching to drive them even more after reading that.

Many thanks for the compliments on the article. It was an absolute pleasure to produce and as you can see, convinced me to go out and buy number 196! I adore Renaultsports and genuinely believe few cars are as fun as a 182 on UK roads. This makes for my sixth overall and fourth 1*2

@Ajracer - please email me - craig@rushmagazine.co.uk and I will give you access to all the images of your car via google drive, perhaps you may wish to have some printed off/framed

@NickReilly063 could I ask a favour please - if it's not too much trouble could you edit your OP to include the new version of the article? I am constantly trying to improve what we do and I think the new page really shows the photography in a much better light (especially in the desktop format)

Also, without turning this into a promo post, with the mods permission I would like to gauge interest in doing a print run of the magazine (issue 002 featuring the Trophy of course!). I would like to pitch at £8-£8.50 + p&p. Any feedback would really help me decide the future direction of the magazine. Many thanks again, Craig

Hi Craig

Great article by the way - if you let me know how to edit I'd love to change it ???

Regards

Really was a brilliant read Craig.

For me personally I always like reading and holding an actual magazine so it would be a nice bonus if it was produced.
But at least there is always the online option as well.

 

[Ajracer]

Hi Craig. Many thanks for the offer of access to the images of my car. I will email you shortly.
Regarding a hard copy i am in the old school camp where I still enjoy thumbing through several car magazines a month so count me in for a couple! Regards Andy.

I think you can modify the post at the bottom of page where it says edit.

Not sure if this works with an original post. Sorry not an IT expert Nick.

 

[NickReilly063]

Obviously with me asking you I’m not too

 

[Craig196]

Thanks for the interest guys. Even at the above price it'll be a loss leader, but hopefully I can justify it on the grounds of generating publicity. Meeting a potential printer/publisher this week, will update

 

[CS 1969]

Definitely be interested in a printed copy if you decide to go ahead Craig

 

[northy]

those images are fantastic, what location were they taken in?

 

[rojer386]

I too would also be interested in a printed copy.

Thanks.
