A car is just a tool... but, like every other tool, it can be perfected in order to enhance your driving experience... Toyota and Subaru could do to the Toyobaru what Renault did to the Clio, like I've been defending:
Quote:
For Renault Sport , the new Renault*Clio RS is a major event. The manufacturer decided to completely change the approach of the car with this new generation replacing the 2.0-liter aspirated engine by a 1.6-liter Turbo engine:
All-new direct injection 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine, pushes out 200hp @ 6,000rpm
25Nm more torque than predecessor, and plenty of it mid-range. 240Nm from 1,750 to 5,500rpm
Quicker from 0-62mph – now 6.7 seconds
Tips scales at 1,204kg – 36 kilos lighter than previous Clio Renaultsport 200
Lower running costs with fuel economy and emissions slashed by almost a quarter. Former up 10.3 mpg to 44.8 mpg (combined) and latter slashed to 144g/km (down 46g/km).
