Renault has announced prices and specifications for its new Clio Renaultsport 200 EDC. The £18,995 entry price matches the similarly powerful Peugeot 208 GTI but makes it £2000 more expensive than the Ford Fiesta ST.
Two models will be available in Britain. The Lux option adds £1000 to the price of the standard car and provides additional equipment including an upgraded Arkamys stereo, climate control, electric rear windows and Renault's R-Link infotainment system.
A Cup chassis pack will also be offered on both models, priced at £450. It comprises a 3mm suspension drop, 15 per cent increase in chassis stiffness, red brake calipers and Dunlop Sport Maxx TT tyres.
Further options for the Renaultsport Clio include the second-generation Renaultsport Monitor telemetry system for £95 (Lux models only), 18-inch alloy wheels at £185 (standard with the Cup Pack) and metallic paint from £495 (with Flame Red at £595 and the iconic Liquid Yellow hue costing £1300).
Orders for the new Clio Renaultsport 200 EDC will be taken from 8 April. It will arrive in UK showrooms in June.
