kurtporrine: Renault Clio RS by Cam Shaft

The Renault Clio RS sees regular use as N�rburgring Taxis, and German tuner, Cam Shaft, felt it was time to release an upgrade kit inspired by these N�rburgring cabs. Now, when we say "inspired by," we use the term rather loosely, as this modification is rather extreme, especially the aesthetics.

The exterior is wrapped in a Graphite Metallic wrap, so the color matches that found on the `Ring taxis, but you get a smattering of lime green on the mirrors, one on the hood (which also boasts a skull decal), and one on the driver side rear quarter panel. The windshield features a rather ominous ?Move Right>>? decal that is inverted so you can read it in your rearview mirror. You also get a set of powder-coated lime-green 17-inch rims wrapped in 215/45R17 Kumho rubber.

On the inside, you get a rear-seat and upholstery delete and a lime-green roll bar installed. You also get a set of Recaro racing seats with ?Renault Sport? stitched into the headrests. Also added into the interior are several interesting ?sticker-bomb? wraps around the center stack bezel, center vent bezel, armrests, and the door sail panels.

If the wrap, interior, and ?International Motherf*cker Crew? decals are not extreme enough, what?s under the hood and under this hot hatch?s skin just may seal the deal. On the corners are H&R coilover units to help this hatchback handle the `Ring’s curves and a set of larger brakes borrowed from an Mk2 Renault Megane R26R. Under the hood is the 2.0-liter engine that any Renault Clio RS owner would recognize with a pair of changes, a reprogrammed ECU and a K&N sports air filter. These combine to boost the power output of the 2.0-liter 4-banger from 197 horsepower to 222 horsepower.

There?s no official pricing available on the tune just yet, but we?ll get you a price once Cam Shaft releases it.
