There's a few Clio RS fans around the office (actually there's only a couple), and we've been desperate to see what the aftermarket world has to offer for the new turbo car.
This is the very first time the Clio has been equipped with a turbo petrol engine, and we expected tons of tuning packages for the car but have come up short.
The only custom piece of tech is in Britain, where K-tec Racing Ltd has just fitted the RS 200 EDC with a custom exhaust system.
Dyno work appears to be in the initial stages, but we have good numbers. Dyno runs show the car has gone from 206 standard hp at the crank to 214 hp. Official figures from Renault say it's only supposed to have 200 hp, but that could be down to the 2% or so error that any dyno gives off.
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.
