Renault’s latest hot-hatch creation wants to bring back the exciting driving experience of its ancestor, and on paper the Clio RS 220 Trophy looks like the real deal.
We all know somehow that the previous Clio RS generation was the car to have if you were looking for a hot hatch of this size. But the move to turbocharging combined with the double-clutch gearbox of the new generation somehow dulled the whole RS thrill of the compact Renault.
XCAR reviews the hottest of the Clios to see if the Trophy version finally manages to restore the glory days of the past and show cars like the Ford Fiesta ST and Peugeot 208 GTI who is the real boss.
