by Brian Byrne. With first deliveries in July, only 500 Clio Renaultsport 182 Trophy cars will be produced at the Renaultsport factory in Dieppe between June and September as production of all Clio Renaultsport finishes in September.
A two-litre 182hp, 200Nm torque engine provides a 0-62mph time of 6.9 seconds.
The Trophy is based on the Renaultsport 182 Cup with several technical changes.
The UK currently takes over half of all Clio Renaultsport production, so only 500 right hand drive Trophy will be produced (with Switzerland the only other country to market the car). A plaque fitted to the driver’s seat base shows the production number of each car.
