A new era begins with the new Clio Renaultsport R3T

Developed for privately-sponsored teams and drivers, the Clio Renaultsport R3T provides unrivalled performance on both gravel and tarmac and at a cost that is more controlled than ever before.

The Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo lies at the heart of this new model devoted to road-racing events. Developed by Renault Sport Technologies with many features inspired by the world of motor racing, the market leader in hot hatchbacks is able to reuse these innovations to meet the demands of rallying.

Sitting firmly on its 17-inch (tarmac) or 15-inch (gravel) wheels, the Clio Renaultsport R3T shows off its assets with exclusive front and rear suspension systems.

Featuring new adjustable dampers and a wide range of settings, every driver is able to find the balance needed to be competitive on all surfaces.

Under the bonnet, the Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo's 1.6-litre turbocharged engine has been given special treatment in order to deliver unrivalled performance - a hefty 242bhp and an outstanding 480Nm of torque. Servicing is now scheduled every 4,000 stage kilometres which is a category record for running time. The six-speed sequential EDC gearbox can be controlled by steering wheel mounted paddles as an option.

The kit is made up of the Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo's parts and specific components required for the assembly of the Clio Renaultsport R3T, including the engine which is assembled by one of Renault Sport Technologies' partners. The Clio Renaultsport R3T is the second racing model to be developed on the base of the Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo after the Clio Renaultsport Cup, intended for circuit racing.
