Not too shy
What other 2.0 T cars pack over 250BHP as standard apart from the S3
VW Sirroco R - 270bhp
Seat Leon R - 268bhp
Forcus RS (all be it 2.5) - 300bhp
VXR/S/R 270bhp / 300bhp
Mazda MP3 250bhp (but a few years old in design now, updated one will have more)..
Not many then 
So thats 1 then.
Im sure a company as big as Renault tried and tested it with all kinds of power and found 250 to work the best, unfortunatly they didnt ask you

I like the fact it has lower bhp than the rivals. It will clearly be quicker round a track

Not many people need more than 250bhp to nip to the shops and back.
Believe it or not, I'd imagine most road users just want a decent car with a bit of poke, of which 250 will be plenty. Not everyone goes on track days and shit like that.
On topic, it looks great from some angles, bit iffy from others. Still won't be as good as a VXR I'd imagine.
