CAR Shootout | Renault Clio RS Gordini

Renault Clio Gordini RS

We have the second entry from France: Ranaults Clio RS Gordin. Think of it as a Clio RS +1.

I have no idea how the Gordini will do. All I know is that it is normally aspirated and quite heavy, so the Polo should have a shot at it. If the old hotClios are anything to go by, it may not be the fastest but it will certainly be lots of fun. Think of the Clio II 227 which constantly was a 3 wheeler.

Specs:
Engine: 2,0 VVT petrol
Power: 147 kW
Torque: 240Nm
0-100km/h 6,9 Seconds
Top Speed 225km/h (Estimated)
Price R279 000
Predicted Position: 8/11

Interesting Fact: The blue paint with bold twin white stripes are a design that pays tribute to Amédée Gordini’s racing Renaults of the 1950s, 60s and 70s..
