(from Renault Press
Release) Renault Clio R.S. Red Bull Racing RB7:
quintessentially sporty
To celebrate its Formula 1 Constructors’ world crown with Red Bull
Racing in 2011, Renault Sport has released a limited edition version
of Clio R.S.: Clio R.S. Red Bull Racing RB7…
A vehicle dedicated to performance (Cup chassis, 18-inch black
Interlagos wheels, R.S. Monitor, etc.), with forceful looks
Clio R.S. Red Bull Racing RB7 will be marketed in five countries:
France, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium and Austria. Order books open on
March 14 in France where the car’s tax-paid price will be €27,900
“Clio R.S. Red Bull Racing RB7 is a hot hatch combining stunning
looks with the very latest features to have been developed by the
wizards at Renault Sport Technologies,” enthuses Jean-Maxime
Boulanger, Clio Renault Sport Product Manager. “Clio R.S. Red Bull
Racing RB7 is a dynamic car which will definitely turn heads. It is
a tribute to the very close ties that exist between Renault Sport
Technologies and Renault Sport F1!”
A powerful design and cutting-edge
technologies
Clio R.S. Red Bull
Racing RB7, the latest limited-edition version of Clio R.S.,
capitalises on the basic model’s acclaimed strengths, something
which is sure not to escape sporting car and motorsport enthusiasts.
Its 18-inch black Interlagos wheels are equipped with Bridgestone
RE050A tyres, the same as those fitted to Mégane R.S. Trophy which
established a new lap record round the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife in
June 2011. Its Profond Black body colour provides a striking
contrast with its Sirius Yellow F1-style blade, door mirror housings
and diffuser. Meanwhile, its two-litre 203-horsepower engine has
been carefully tuned to deliver more than 100hp per litre! These
sporty credentials are echoed by the Renault Sport chequered-pattern
roof decal which combines with the Red Bull Racing badging on the
doors.
These exterior features
merely serve to highlight Clio R.S. Red Bull Racing RB7’s extreme,
powerful stance.
High-end sporty interior
appointments
Clio R.S. Red Bull
Racing RB7’s excellence and aggressive, sporty looks are mirrored by
an interior equipment package to match. The list includes automatic
climate control, automatic headlight activation, a hands-free card,
yellow fabric Recaro bucket seats, a Renault Sport-badged gear lever
knob, a personalised numbered plaque and an audio connection box. It
also features R.S. Monitor, an electronic on-board driving coach
which displays performance-related data – such as 0-100kph times and
other information aimed at fine-tuning driving styles – in real
time. Clio R.S. Red Bull Racing RB7’s exceptional equipment
specification is sure to find favour with owners who have a taste
for technology and sporty performance.
The car eloquently
showcases the transfer of skills between Renault’s expertise in
Formula 1 (Red Bull Racing, Lotus F1 Team, Caterham F1 Team and
Williams F1 Team will all benefit from Renault power in 2012) and
the brand’s road cars.
Clio R.S. Red Bull
Racing RB7 badge is the first limited edition in a series which go
on to include Twingo R.S. and Mégane R.S.
Clio R.S. background information
Since its launch in the
second half of 2006, Clio R.S. has been made in Dieppe, France, and
is today marketed on four continents: Europe, Asia, Africa and
Oceania. It was developed by Renault Sport Technologies and has
always sought to stand out as a benchmark in hot hatch comparison
tests. It is this approach which has led Clio R.S. to be fine-tuned
over time thanks to a number of improvements, including the
introduction of revised styling in 2009. Its career has been buoyed
by the release on all its markets of bespoke limited editions
versions like Clio R.S. Ange & Démon, R.S. 20th Anniversaire and the
emblematic Gordini R.S.
