New Clio Renault Sport the Most Efficient Hot Hatch of Its Category PRESS RELEASE April 23, 2009 NEW CLIO RENAULT SPORT THE MOST EFFICIENT HOT HATCH OF ITS CATEGORY Since 2000, the successive variants of Clio Renault Sport have led to it becoming the most popular hatchback of its class, with worldwide sales totalling more than 70,000 cars. The Renault Sport version of the brand’s best-selling model has been unanimously praised by exacting owners as one of the market’s best hot hatches, and also one of the most fun to drive. The challenge faced by the engineers from Renault Sport Technologies was to build on the existing qualities of Clio Renault Sport and take its inherent strengths and dynamism to a new level. New Clio Renault Sport’s sporty calling is evident both inside and outside the car. Its exterior styling includes aerodynamic features which take their inspiration from the world of Formula 1: - a front splitter - front-wing air-extractors and a rear diffuser, two technologies which form a package that is unique on the hot hatch market. The interior is given over to driving enjoyment and can be adapted to suit the owner’s personal tastes thanks to a range of finishes and upholsteries. New Clio Renault Sport features all the ingredients that have long forged the success of Renault Sport models: - available with either the ‘Sport’ or ‘Cup’ chassis, plus an independent steering axis front suspension arrangement which ensures outstanding precision and traction in all conditions, - Brembo callipers and large brake discs deliver powerful, durable stopping power, - a high performance engine: specific output of more than 100hp / litre, with peak power raised to 147.5kW (203hp), plus extra torque at engine speeds of less than 3,000rpm compared with its predecessor. To meet customer demand even more closely, the Clio Renault Sport range takes two distinct lines: - the ‘chic and sporty’ line, for customers looking for a comfortable, well-equipped, status-enhancing car. - and the ‘outright performance’ line, for exacting connoisseurs who are passionate about their driving. This version is 36 kg lighter and boasts the best weight-to-power ratio of its class (6kg / hp). Renault’s latest hot hatch shares its genes with the other members of the New Clio family, and is versatile, safe and extensively-equipped: an integrated Carminat TomTom® satnav system is available either as standard equipment or as an option for €490.

  • The Family Man's Sports Car, the Light Sports Saloon and Hot Hatchback
    The Family Man’s Sports Car, The light Sports Saloon and Hot Hatchback. Part One 1920 to 1980 Alvis 12/75 sports saloon The hot hatch back has been with us since the mid seventies, sporting version’s of the small family hatch back saloons that had come to replace in much of the world the smaller booted/trunk saloon car. Of late many of the hot hatch models of this century have been fitted with ever increasingly larger engines in the relentless quest for even more speed, but there are still some models in production with modest sized engines in the spirit of the original hot hatches and the light sports saloons that came before them, with capacities up to 1600cc’s. What do I mean by light sports saloon, I am referring to the kind of light car, that is one with a moderate size engine, that was purchased not just for transport but one that will provide an increased degree of performance that will enhance the pleasure of motoring and that in some cases could take part in motorsport of one form or another. The sports saloon was a very British thing in the nineteen twenties, thirties and forties, with quite a few models on offer with that description, but for many of them it was unwarranted and I have only mentioned those with a sporting connection here. In most of the world in that period light cars were usually just for transport and if a sporting car was required it had a larger engine ,some times very large.

    MEDIA WATCH LATEST NEWS COVERAGE FROM ACROSS THE UK 170 – 4 APRIL 2017 James Parfett Head of Communications Peugeot UK “You can always tell a good month of coverage when it’s brimming with accolades, a Guardian journalist is asking “where do I sign?” and an order is placed by Chris Evans, for an All-New 3008 SUV GT Line. These are the positive reactions that the All-New 3008 and 5008 SUVs continue to generate. There’s also enthusiastic praise for both ‘Where do I sign?’ – All-New 3008 SUV the 308GTi by Peugeot Sport and the stunning new Peugeot Instinct Concept.” “I can’t remember climbing into a more instantly likable car,” writes Martin Love in his All-New 3008 SUV review for the Guardian. “There are dozens of mid-size SUVs out there, from the Kuga to the Kadjar, and to be competitive in this shark’s pool of motoring segments, new cars have to bring their A-game if they are to survive let alone thrive. The All-New 3008 SUV is cut from different cloth than its predecessor. Clever design sprinkles fairy dust on every feature: from the stainless steel doorsills to the chrome-trimmed floating roof, smoked windows and jagged front lights.” Love finds the exterior impressive, “but it’s the interior that knocks it out the park. It’s interesting and original – everything has been reconsidered. The instrument cluster resides in an angular display pod beneath the sweeping windscreen. The steering wheel is squared off, top and bottom. There are about ‘MAJOR TECH’ LEADS three ways to access everything – all part of Peugeot’s new i-Cockpit®.” TO MASS ORDERS According to the report, “one thing Peugeot doesn’t shout enough about is its engines.

    5-STAR REVIEW SPECIAL ISSUE FIRST99 FOR NEWNEWS AND REVIEWS CARS EVERY WEEK Est. 1895 | autocar.co.uk NEW GR YARIS IS… 2020’S BEST HOT HATCH Amazing new The first truly great car of Toyota blitzes the decade every rival HOW IT COMPARES TO THE BEST OF THE REST TOYOTA GR YARIS 2020 UK REVIEW Possibly the most exciting addition to the hot hatchback market in a decade. Wickedly purposeful, and wonderfully evocative of fast 4x4s of old. he new Toyota GR Yaris has actually been coming for even T longer than most of us may realise. While this car has had an extensively previewed gestation, it’s the first ground-up performance car that Toyota has developed ‘all on its own’ in some twenty years. By which is meant ‘without the help of another dedicated car-maker,’ of course. Because believe me, to have made a hot hatchback this good, Toyota must have had quite a lot of help from some very clever people who have been spending a lot of weekends with messrs Makinen, Meeke, Tanak and Latvala. So, now that we’ve driven it – extensively, on a mix of UK roads and on track, and in its most alluringly specialized mechanical specification, we should add – we can at last confirm what matters most: that the hubbub of anticipation might actually have undersold the GR Yaris. This is a wonderfully exciting, amazingly capable and strangely evocative drivers’ car, and a very rare and special hot hatchback indeed. ◊ TOYOTA GR YARIS 2020 REVIEW ∆ First, we’d better define precisely why series-production performance cars that the GR Yaris exists.
