The Renault Clio II RS (172) is a hot hatch that was produced by French automaker Renault from 2000 to 2005. It was the successor to the original Clio Williams, and was designed to be a more refined and capable performance car. The 172 designation refers to the engine's horsepower rating, which was 172 PS (126 kW; 170 hp) thanks to a naturally aspirated 2.0 L 16v F7R engine. The Clio RS 172 was a popular choice for enthusiasts due to its combination of performance, handling, and affordability. The Clio RS 172 featured a number of performance upgrades over the standard Clio, including a stiffer suspension, larger brakes, and a more aggressive body kit. The car's sporty styling was also enhanced with a rear spoiler, side skirts, and a unique front bumper with a larger air intake. Inside, the Clio RS 172 featured Recaro bucket seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a sport-tuned instrument cluster. The 172 also had a number of options available, including a limited-slip differential, xenon headlights, and a sunroof. While the Clio II RS 172 was praised for its performance and handling, it was also criticized for its relatively harsh ride and cramped interior. The car's lack of a turbocharger also limited its top-end power, making it less competitive against some of its more powerful rivals. Despite those criticisms, the Clio RS 172 remains a highly sought-after car among enthusiasts, and is considered to be one of the best hot hatches of its era.
