No, I didn't race one showing it up etc.
My friend's got one.
He bought it brand new on release and finally, Saturday night, i got taken for a spin in it.
First thing is, they look bonkers, nut's! They're so wide and aggressive looking.
They only share the roof and windscreen with the standard clio's body work.
Then you get in and all of a sudden it's all so familiar again.
Totally standard clio dash.
It's not a bad dash but not a special dash.
Fire it up and suprisingly, it's pretty quite.
Set off down the back road and i notice it's very eager to go.
I can feel with every increase on the rev's an increase in speed, even at the lower end.
At the moment, it's all low rev driving as we're on back roads.
Finally we get onto some open road and he nails it hard.
That engine, which is INSIDE the car with only a pair of covers over it suddenly starts screaming and the noise is pure drama.
Very very nice sounding V6.
It's not as quick as a suitably modded tubby, but then that's obvious, as a modded tubby should have more power.
But what was good was that the Clio seemed to make use of every one of it's 255 bhp.
In short, spectacular looking car, bit of an occassion to drive it, not face pullingly fast but doesn't need to be, rarer than rocking horse xxxx, completely impractical and i want one lol.
Don't have make it confusing don't they!
