Renaultsport Clio 200 Silverstone GP

[matty_doh]

Picked this up just before Christmas, following on from my Renaultsport Twingo (See here) - hadn't actually intended to get another Renault and was looking at and test driving all sorts trying to decide - but after every search I ended up back at the Clio, I then stumbled across some information on the Silverstone Edition and decided to look a bit further into it... fatal mistake!

There are 50 Silverstone editions in total, this car is lucky number 13.

Aside from the contender for the longest name given to a car, the Silverstone GP edition Clio is essentially a Clio 200 with extra kit, different paint and some badges. Kit list includes:

- Recaro Seats (Standout feature of the car for me)
- Cup Chassis
- Automatic Climate Control
- Bluetooth
- Satin Black Speedline Alloys
- Renaultsport Monitor (Monitors lap times, g-readings, 0-62 & 1/4 Mile times amongst other things)
- Cruise control with speed limiter
- Renault 'ID' Paint

How does it compare to the Twingo? Well, 'more' to summarise - the family DNA is definitely there, but the Clio is a much more refined and comfortable place to be, the engine is less anaemic low down and it feels much more solid both in build and the drive itself. The exhaust note is brilliant for a standard system to boot!

Anyway, pictures...












Thanks for reading

Very nice.

I love my AG 200 with Recaros and Cup chassis. Stunning cars.

That is very nice! One of very few Clio Cup's I really like.

I was going to say that I thought the Silverstone Edition was a limited edition. The plaque confirms it is.

Did you get a FREE Silverstone Track-Day that Renault are meant to throw in as part of the deal?

Enjoy!

That looks amazing, one of the best looking hot hatches around IMO. The interior on them is just awful though

[Hoygo]

That looks awesome,i believe it drives great too.

[SXi Lad]

Really like the look of this...and love the fact they haven't fitted the spoiler that you normally see on the cup version.

That looks superb . Would love to try those Recaro buckets in a car, they are certainly one of the best looking road seats i've ever seen.

Lovely car, i had a spin out in a Clio 200 a couple of months back, the handling was beilliant, i can understand why the renault sport cars are so well respected.

[Brett748]

Love it. Best spec too. Great buy mate.

[C2james]

That looks really nice, I'm looking at getting one of these next year.

[sturobturbo]

the feeling of having a new car is IMMENSE!!

[Adz The Rat]

[bazza1000]

[Mouse1903]

Lovely car, Recaros are awesome

[CarbonM5]

Very sharp looking car,like it.

[P I Staker]

Very nice car, I would love one of these.


Although, I think one of the brighter colours suites them better.

Yes I did, though not yet been on it - a number of laps around Silverstone in a Clio 200 followed by the same again in a Megane 250. Can't wait! Though have a horrible feeling it will lead to me wanting a Megane 250 to complete the trio
