Just 50 highly-exclusive Clio Renaultsport 200 Raiders launched!
10/10/2011

Just 50 models of the highly-exclusive limited edition of the award-winning Clio Renaultsport 200 Raider hot hatch will go on sale at the end of October offering Renaultsport fans a superb list of extra equipment over the standard Renaultsport version that it’s based on.
It also comes in a dramatic matt Renault i.d paintwork with a choice of either Stealth Grey or Diavolo Red. This is the first time Renault has offered matt paintwork and it has been specially developed at the Alpine Renaultsport factory in Dieppe. It’s not a wrap, but true paint, but be warned though, it requires some special care – no car washes or polishing!
The choice of paintwork is contrasted by the gloss black finish to the roof, rear spoiler, F1-style front blade, rear diffuser and door mirrors.
This gloss black is also applied to the 18” ‘Interlagos’ alloy wheels, as used on the R26R and are one inch larger diameter than the standard 200 wheels. These are fitted with Bridgestone RE 050A tyres, as used on the record-breaking Mégane Renaultsport 265 Trophy which recently flew around the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife circuit in an incredible time of 8 minutes and 8 seconds - the fastest time ever recorded by a front-wheel drive production car.
The acclaimed Cup chassis comes as standard, featuring a lower ride height, stiffer springs and dampers, quicker steering ratio and red finish to the Brembo brake callipers. The exterior finish is rounded off by extra-tinted rear side and tailgate windows and a Raider badge.
On the inside, there are luxurious leather upholstered Recaro seats, with a zinc grey finish to the centre console and fascia inserts. A white rev counter sets off the dials, while there’s extra comfort and practicality thanks to Bluetooth, USB connectivity, automatic climate control and Renaultsport carpet mats.
And that’s not all - customers can order their Raider with a no cost choice of either a Renaultsport Monitor – Renaultsport’s on-board performance telemetry system – or Carminat TomTom Live satellite navigation so you will never get lost!
Watch this space! Further details and pricing will be announced later on this month!
