Sources from Renault Sport in France have confirmed that the next generation Clio RS will be powered by a new turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol engine with an almost similar power of the current Clio RS which is 197bhp from the normally aspirated 2.0-litre. The Nissan Juke is powered by a 187bhp version of the same engine. Insiders said that the Renault Clio RS will be available with the option of a new dual-clutch gearbox with paddle shifters as standard equipment. The new Mk4 Clio will use a new platform that is wider and longer but will be available in just a five-door format. It will however get a coupé-like appearance due to its unique styling with bold ‘tucked-in’ side sections, big shoulders over the rear wheels and rear door handles concealed in the C-pillar. The new version will be very different from the current RS since it is based on the same bodyshell as the basic Clio. Renault considers the Mk4 Clio a crucial product. It will be introduced in production form late this year.
