Renaultsport Clio Info
I found the following information on Cliosport written by a guy who created a Clio 172 Sport Cup website. I am not buying a Clio Cup due to the extra price hike, I need to keep the costs down as the whole point of this exercise is to make it a cheap, fun, project! Not all is lost though because my 172 will be stripped out to lighten the chassis to resemble the Cup curb weight, and I will have the Cup alloys on which will increase the track to imitate the 172 Cup [more on that later]..... Although my 172 will still have the heavy Air con, and ABS, Xenon's etc!
The Clio Cup:-
The Renaultsport Clio 172 Cup was introduced to the world in 2002 as a lightweight focused version of the 172, shedding some 89kg's due to a number of weight saving tactics. 1000 Cups were snapped up in the first 6 months and less than 2 years later production had ended after more than 2000 Cups were sold in the UK alone; the biggest market in the world for Renaultsport Clio's.
Mondial Blue was the only colour available for the Cup, however for a limited period a small run of 90 cars were made in Iceberg Silver; at this time Air-Conditioning was also made available as a £700 option. The majority of Cups were registered on 52, 03 and 53 plates, although a few survived unregistered long enough to gain 04 plates. The original price for the Cup was £13,200, although this was dropped to £12,995.
