The new 1204 kg Clio RS just proves that replacing the 2.0-liter engine with 203 hp by the new 1.6-liter direct injection turbo engine delivering 200 hp and 240 Nm of torque allows the Clio to reach 230 km/h max. speed and 0-100 km/h in 6.7 seconds using a double clutch 6-speed gearbox with launch control function.
In the Toyobaru case, this would mean almost 1 second faster from 0 to 100 km/h, just the kind of performance improvement that I've been defending for the Toyobaru, the one that wouldn't compromise its superb handling characteristics.
