New Clio GT

StylingNew Clio GT can be recognised by its exclusive Malta Blue body colour and specific styling. It sits on new 16-inch “Dark Anthracite” alloy wheels, while its more assertive front end features a gloss black grille and distinctive black headlamp backgrounds.

Powertrains
In the UK, the GT version will be available with a choice of two engines: the 1.6 16V 128 (exclusive to Clio GT) and the dCi 106. Both drive through the TL4 six-speed gearbox.

Suspension
Renault Sport Technologies' engineers have paid special attention to ensure that Clio GT's chassis combines first class dynamic ability with a comfortable ride. The stiffness of the front springs and the calibration of the front dampers have been uprated by 15 per cent compared to the previous version. The variable-rate coil springs at the rear are 15 per cent stiffer, too, and the new rear dampers feature larger diameter rods. These solutions ensure enhanced control of body movement and more precise cornering without detracting from comfort. To counter body roll, the front anti-roll bar diameter has been increased from 20.5 to 21mm, while the rear suspension is equipped with the same stiffer bushes as Clio Renaultsport. Clio GT's power steering is also more direct for swifter response and greater driving pleasure.
