This is the Renault Clio S, a car Renault says gives one of its more mundane models a Renaultsport look.
The three-door Clio S, which takes its name from a smilar car of the 1990s, has 16-inch alloys, tinted rear windows and tailgate, a white front bumper insert and white ‘GT’ rear spoiler, plus racing stripes.

Inside there are embossed ‘S’ logos, a leather steering wheel and white centre console, dashboard inserts and instrument dials.
The Clio S is based on the standard car's Expression spec, which was previously only available in five-door.
Buyers get three engine choices: a 74bhp and 98bhp 1.2-litre units and an 85bhp 1.5-litre diesel.
Prices start at £11,209 and go up to £13,458, making them between £100 less and £400 more than the equivalent five-door.

Re: Sporty Renault Clio S launched
The Clio was a nice little car pre- facelift now its just bland like all Renault models.This special edition adds nothing new or enticing.

Getting there - if only they had stripped out more weight, tightened up the handling and suspension, fitted amusingly short gearing that caused it to red line in 5th at 110mph and given it a noisy induction system... you'd have something to make you smile on a B-road at legal speeds...
Re: Sporty Renault Clio S launched
Its a bit unimaginative, and a bit brash, like some young guys do to their cars with a paint brush and some white paint. That big white panel on the centre console looks a bit cheap.
