Go to: Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S. 16 2016 review
  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - front cornering

    New track focused Clio Renaultsport R.S.16 offers 271bhp

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - rear cornering

    Officially it is only a concept but Auto Express got behind the wheel to give it a try at France’s Circuit des Ecuyers 

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - front cornering 2

    Engine and gearbox is borrowed from the Megane RS

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - rear cornering

    Huge rear wing and gold livery make the R.S.16 stand out

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - front cornering 3

    The R.S.16 darts between corners with real agility

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - Sam driving

    Low down driving position is perfect on the track

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - side tracking

    Suspension and brakes have been uprated

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - side tracking 2

    Straight line performance is stronger than the Megane RS

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - front quarter

    The R.S.16 gains no extra weight over the standard Clio RS

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - rear quarter

    Power-to-weight ratio stands at 221bhp per tonne compared with the 164bhp per tonne of the standard Clio RS

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - badge

    Engine sounds more like a jet engine than a four-cylinder turbo

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - rear flank

    No rear seats are fitted in this concept but Renault bosses hinted the R.S.16 could become a four-seater should it reach production

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - rear light

    The R.S.16 aims to be fastest Renaultsport model ever

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - interior

    Interior is mostly standard Clio RS with the seats and harnesses from the Megane Trophy-R

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - infotainment

    Renault's R-LINK touchscreen Infotainment system has been kept

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - RS button

    ‘RS Drive’ button allows you to select between driving modes

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - seats

    Racing seats and harnesses sit prominently up front

  • Renault Clio RenaultSport R.S.16 2016 - harness mounts

    Owing to the lack of rear seats luggage capacity is significantly increased from the standard car
