And they say it is going to be light and nimble. Looks good to me.

Looks fab to me. I'd probably want to find a set of wheels for it though.

A seriously dubious internet source speculates that this might be powered by the two litre four-banger from the Megane RS275 mounted in midships.

In this day and age it does probably mean no manual gearbox option...

Hmm.... If so this could raise the purchase price quite considerably.

Highly doubt it'll be the existing engine, more likely a 1.8 variation of the engine used in the Clio which is a Nissan engine. The existing engine is very very long in the tooth now.

Blue one looks like a Motorsport version with the extra aero and cooling, sliding side window and bonnet pins.
