Despite being quite old now, the pre-facelift Clio RS III, the 197, is a very desirable car to own, especially if you plan on having a Nurburgring adventure. One owner decided the stock configuration wasn’t enough and went to famed German hardcore tuner Cam Shaft,who transformed the little roadrunner into a scary machine.
Handling has been sharpened using a coil-over suspension from H&R. Stopping power has also been boosted tremendously by using a system stolen from the mental Mehane RS R26R, which for a while was the fastest FWD production car in the world.

The 197’s engine has been boosted to 225 PS by adding an ECU remap and a sports air filter from K&N.

The look of the Clio RS has not been left untouched, as it’s been re-visualized using a matte Graphite Metallic wrap with acid green touches. The stock 17-inch wheels have also been done in the same color and shod in semi-slick Kumho 215/45 tires.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
