The 1520mm track and 2585mm wheelbase ensure that the Clio Renaultsport Concept's cornering is efficient, safe and sporting. This layout, along with the choice of high-performance tyres (215/40 R18) have naturally involved extended bodywork.
Renault Sport Technologies' engineers have worked just as diligently on the brakes, the latest system offering exceptional stopping power and resistance to heat. At the front, red-painted calipers have four aluminium pistons and cross-drilled 330mm Brembo discs (280mm at the rear). The Clio Renaultsport Concept has been bred for performance, its dynamic qualities fully exploiting Renault Sport Technologies' 2.0 16V naturally aspirated engine. The engine is both powerful and flexible, delivering sports response and exemplary refinement via a six-speed gearbox.
Sports character through and through
Clio Renaultsport Concept's interior confirms that this is no ordinary car. The chosen materials, chiefly chrome and leather, emphasize its finely honed design. A generous, panoramic sunroof accentuates Clio III's innate qualities and enhances the sense of space and comfort. The four individual bucket seats are separated by an integral, chrome zinc centre console. A body coloured strip underlines the purity of the design. Upholstered in red and grey leather with built-in headrests, the seats are comfortable yet supportive, while the leather covered dashboard's fluid forms echo the Clio III style. White faced instruments deliver essential information with optimum clarity and include a gear ratio indicator within the rev counter. Covered in red and black leather with a flattened lower section, the steering wheel falls perfectly to hand. A new ergonomically efficient handbrake design is integrated into the centre console. Competition style aluminium pedals and foot rest complete the sports character of Clio Renaultsport Concept's interior.
