Following last year's presentation of the Twingo Gordini 133, Renault shook the covers off it latest Gordini-badged-painted product at the 2010 Geneva Salon, this time based on the RenaultSport Clio.
To the disappointment of Gordini fans, the treatment is essentially a styling package. On the outside, the Clio Gordini RS features a Malta Blue bodywork embellished by two hallmark white stripes, black 17-inch alloys, gloss black highlights on the front bumper and rear diffuser plus mirror housings and F1-style front bib finished in white.
Inside, the Gordini spirit translates to sport seats and steering wheel trimmed in black and blue leather, gearlever with blue gaiter and metallic, a Gordini-branded gear knob, rev-counter dial with white background, decorative stitching for the upper dashboard, specific floor mats and numbered plaque on the gear-lever console.
There are no changes under the bonnet, meaning the the Gordini-badged model is powered by the same rev-hungry 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four with 200 horsepower and 215Nm of torque as the standard Clio RS.
The Clio Gordini RS will hit European showrooms in June 2010.
