2005 55 RENAULT CLIO RENAULTSPORT RS 182
Titanium Silver - High Specification
Low 65000 Miles
Excellent Service Records
Just Freshly Serviced

Renaultsport
About the best hot hatch around blending the best of modern engineering with a
slightly old school fun factor. The sound of the vehicle is fantastic, the pick
up of the air intake as it whistles and rams air is unforgettable. The handling
is nothing short of amazing as it is completely balanced and even with perfect
weighting from hubs to wheels and ride. Massive fun factor when it comes to the
twisty stuff. Renault honed and shaved this car, optimising the steering and
sharpening the handling to the extent that the Cup is capable of notching off
the sprint to 60mph in a claimed 6.7 seconds whilst maintaining a 35 MPG
average. Not only is the Clio Renaultsport one of the quickest of all hatches in
a straight line but its also the one with the biggest fun factor when it comes
to the twisty stuff.

The 182 With Both Cup Packs
A hgh spec example with side airbags, xenon headlamps, cruise control,
headlamp wash, automatic headlamps adjustment, automatic wipers and heat
reflecting windscreen. The climate controlled air conditioning is ice cold
and the 60/40 split rear seats offer practical load space of required.
The Cup further benefits from a lowered ride height, stiffer springs and
dampers and strengthened wheel hub carriers that can handle being bounced over
kerbs on a track day not that this one has seen a track. The steering geometry
offers a very sharp turn-in, the steering feels livewire, the gumball tyres
transmitting the slightest response from the wheel to the road. Performance
from the 182bhp engine is urgent, and as a point to point car it is no slower
than a Clio V6. A standard non meesed with RS with some subtle upgrades that
deviate little from stock trim though do make it more special.

Extras
K-Tec exhaust
Polybush engine mounts
Polybush tie bar
RSTuner 98RON Map (device supplied with car)

Condition
To be found in remarkable stunning virtually unmarked original condition in
and out and has been a cared for car with a massive service record the likes
of which is usually seen in expensive higher value vehicles. Nothing to
comment on at all. The alloys are perfect and the panel fit is too, it has
an impressive depth and shine, retaining a beautiful finish as the images
suggest. Engine bay highly detailed, a top top example.

Together with the original service book there is a file crammed with receipts
dating back many years. Every mot from new. This has been enthusiast owned

example.
