Few hot
hatches have earned the respect and following enjoyed by the Renault Clio Sport
172. Compact, lightweight and powered by the superb naturally aspirated
2.0-litre engine, the Clio Renaultsport models have long been regarded as some
of the finest driver's cars of their generation, equally at home on a twisting
B-road or at a circuit track day.
First registered in March 2002, this
Renault Clio Sport is powered by the highly regarded 1,998cc engine coupled to a
manual gearbox. Showing 136,308 miles, it has clearly been prepared with
enthusiastic driving in mind and now presents as a focused track day or hill
climb machine.
The specification reflects its intended purpose, with the
interior stripped out to save weight and fitted with a rear roll cage, while a
single bucket seat and Luke harness provide secure driver accommodation. The
result is a purposeful cockpit that leaves no doubt as to the car's sporting
intentions.
Further enhancements include adjustable BC coilover
suspension, allowing the handling to be tailored to suit driver preference and
circuit conditions, together with lightweight alloy wheels and a sporty exhaust
system which adds an entertaining soundtrack to the already characterful
Renaultsport driving experience.
The current MOT remains valid until
April 2027, offering reassurance for those wishing to enjoy the car on the road
as well as at track-focused events.
Renault's Clio Sport has long been
recognised as one of the benchmark hot hatches, thanks to its sharp handling,
eager engine and simple, driver-focused character. This example takes those
qualities a step further, offering a ready-made package for anyone looking to
enjoy track days, sprints, hill climbs or spirited weekend
motoring.
