I'm glad you brought it up! I guess we have to wait for its public debut at the Paris motor show in September and see:

A 187bhp version of the same engine is currently in the Nissan Juke. Sources say the Renault Clio RS will also get the option of a new dual-clutch gearbox, which is expected to get paddle shifters as standard.
