300bhp Clio

Yes, yes, I know, before you all slate me I know it is not a Micra but I felt I had to share this one. I went down to the Renault Turbo Owner's Club annual meet in Bruntingthorpe yesterday and the main show was today. One of the guys I went with knows the managers of K-Tec, a top Renault modifying company. They had two show cars there, one of which was a 300+bhp Clio (apparently soon to be made up to 400). I managed to blag a few laps around the track in it with one of the managers, and it was the most insane thing I have ever been in. We were passing 5 GT-Ts like they were going backwards, and even left a Skyline for dead. The noise was deafening (and that was with a helmet on) - and yet the car is road legal. Absolutely insane, but great fun.

Plus, the car did over 50 laps and absolutely nothing went wrong :)
