Page 1 of 1 Taking as its starting point the New Clio Renault Sport 2.0 16V, Renault Sport has developed a 300 car sporting special edition for the home market only. Baptized 'Jean Ragnotti', this special edition offers a sporting appearance inside and out, and a suspension system modified for more incisive behaviour.
This 'Jean Ragnotti' special limited edition benefits from suspension system developments entirely aimed at the achievement of maximum driving efficiency. The front castor angle is increased in order to make the steering more informative and to retain optimum stability both on the straight and while cornering, taking into account the higher level of performance.
In addition to improvements carried out on the suspension the car has been lightened by 80kg. This weight reduction reflects the radical spirit of this special limited edition and has been achieved notably by the replacement of the spare wheel by two antipuncture inflators and the removal of certain equipment features including the air-conditioning, ABS, side airbags and xenon headlamps, while even the stowage compartment normally found under the passenger seat and the carpet covers have been removed. The sound deadening treatment has also been adapted, notably with thinner front door windows and the adoption of a tinted windscreen that is non damping and non heat-reflective.
Thanks to its driving performance, this 'Jean Ragnotti' special limited edition of the Clio Renault Sport 2.0 16V will satisfy the most sporting of motoring enthusiasts and offer a privileged starting point for amateur rally drivers in the Group N category, offering its particularly competitive performance credentials at an equally competitive price.
