I’ve not long been back from the launch of the Clio RS200 in Portugal. Bejesus, what a machine! On the tight kart track just outside of Porto I did my best to unstick the newcomer, and despite slightly damp conditions, I am sorry to report that I failed abysmally. The thing just gripped and gripped. But what struck most was how forgiving it was - even close to the limits, it was utterly controllable, totally fearless and just so well balanced. In short, it’s a car that will flatter the mediocre driver and tantalise the track day demon in equal measure. You can read all about it on pages 22-26.
The good news is that as well as having one of the very first examples to enter the UK on our stand at FCS, we’ll also be running one as a long-termer so we’ll be able to get a great perspective on whether you ought to sell the kids and buy one. Another planned guest on our stand will be the sensational Citroën C2 cover car. With its full Maxi wide arch kit, killer Garrett GT28 turbo, Spax adjustables and bespoke leather interior it’s a car that ticks all the right boxes as far as we’re concerned. Take a look on pages 30-35, and see it for yourself - in the flesh - on June 14th.
