Overview
Following in the footsteps of the much-admired Clio Renaultsport 172 Cup and 182 Cup, the Clio Renaultsport 197 Cup has arrived.
The key feature of the Cup 197 in terms of its performance is its offering of the same chassis set-up as the limited edition 197 F1 Team R27. With its lowered ride height of 7mm and stiffer springs and dampers (27% at the front and 30% at the rear), the Cup ensures pinpoint handling on the road and for drivers wishing to use the car on track. Electronic Stability Programme comes as standard, but can be disconnected by the driver to enhance the thrill of driving this stunning Renaultsport car.
The Renaultsport 197 Cup gearbox now features a taller 5th and 6th gear ratios, raised from 16.1mph/1000rpm to 17.1 in 5th and from 18.9mph/1000rpm to 20.5 in 6th. This new specification will also be fitted as standard to the Clio Renaultsport 197.
Colour wise, the 197 Cup answers UK customer demands for white to be available as an option for the first time. Racing Blue will be the standard colour of Clio 197 Cup, while the car sits on 17” anthracite wheels. Nimbus is an optional metallic colour, with the new optional matt black 17” Speedline alloys sure to strike a distinctive pose with the new option of Renault i.d. Glacier White.
To reduce the car’s weight and improve performance, Renault Hands Free Keycard and electric door mirrors have been removed whilst air conditioning is moved to the options list. Other interior features such as the soft touch dashboard and padded door panels, standard on Clio Renaultsport 197, have been removed to ensure a competitive price for the 2.0-litre hot hatch.
As ever, safety is at the forefront of Renault’s design with driver and passengers, front lateral and anti-submarining airbags as standard.
Options are limited and include curtain airbags, air conditioning, the new matt black wheels and of course, the highly acclaimed lightweight Renaultsport Recaro seats.

Some black Renault badges would finish it off a treat.

of course it will beat the corsa.
the thing is its meant to be cheaper then the normal 197 and lighter but they have only shed 100kg by getting rid of the the things that they give as options, and the standard car doesnt even come with the nice seats

That is weird. I was laying in my bed last night when I suddenly thought to myself how good would a white 197 look.

What is interesting, is that Renault have got rid of things, added a few bits like better suspension, but charge you less.
When Ferrari and Porsche do that, they charge you more

but to have the glacier white paint and the nice seats it comes to the same price as the normal 197, also they have tried to make a more track biased performance clio yet they have made 5th and 6th gear taller to make it better at cruisin on the motorway? it dont think they could make up their minds

Said this before but I'd rather have a full fat 197 with aircon etc. and be however many tenths of a second slower it is than a Cup

True. And get some Cup suspension at a later date may be.
