Jeremy of Top Gear takes the Renault Clio 182 for a spin around the Top Gear race track.
The Renault Clio Renault Sport or Clio RS is a hot hatch produced since 1999 by Renault Sport, the high-performance division of French automaker Renault. It is based on the Clio supermini.
The engine has remained the same since the first Clio RS, a 2.0-litre straight-4 petrol engine, with an FF layout and a three-door hatchback body style.
The Clio Sport has always been a powerful car, overcoming the Mini Cooper S (162 bhp (121 kW; 164 PS)), the SEAT Ibiza FR (150 bhp (112 kW; 152 PS)) and more recently, the Peugeot 206 RC and the SEAT Ibiza Cupra R (both rated at 180 bhp (134 kW; 182 PS)).
