RENAULTSPORT CLIO 182 vs 197: DRAG RACE *ON A BUDGET*
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Its the question everyone has been waiting for, which is faster? A Renaultsport Clio 182 or the 197. There's only one way to find out and that's through a drag race!
Mr Adam Christo is a British racing driver, who won the 2008 British Formula Renault Championship, also won the 2009 Star Mazda Championship who is now Mercedes AMG Driver.
It's safe to say that we have a pretty handy driver today, and he has brought down his personal Renaultsport Clio 197.
Stay safe and enjoy.

No suprise here. Had a clio 172 years back & that was a rocket. Remember being on the cliosport forum & people having this debate👍 Always knew what the outcome would be😉💪
Great message at the start, delivered expertly in the correct way.... really important to do. Nice one.
I had a Clio 172 for a year and swapped it for a 197 F1 edition.... 172 definitely felt quicker all the way through the whole rev range

It don't want to put track tyres on it as it defeats the purpose of some of the training I do, and dual control for when I, teaching.

Nice video :) we'd like to see rolling races too to avoid the differences at the start (good or bad start)
Thanks for the video mate. I'm very close to buying a good used 182...and after seeing it leave the fatter 197 I'm even more convinced. Cheers.

Less is more! Great video Sid 👍
Was my first proper hot hatch the 182. Since then I have been really fortunate and owned most of the worlds greatest sports and hypercars. But you know what, I have never forgotten how epic that little lightweight Clio was.
A very relatable series of videos. Keep it up. And maybe if I live alone I could wear gloves and still go for a drive. ;)

I wonder if my 200 version would keep up? Not so sure given the gap.
After recently purchasing a MK3 RS 200 and owning a 182 previously there really isn't much noticeable difference in power.. The newer shape seems to handle soo much better, And it seem's to have much better lower down power as well.. I haven't driven a 197.. But to be gapped that badly is strange considering it has more HP and an extra gear.. Something doesn't seem right to me!? Obviously the 182 is lighter but surely the extra bit of weight cant make that much of a difference considering the 197 has the extra HP.. half the 182's don't even dyno at 182hp either.. Especially with that kind of mileage , Seem's strange to gap 3 car lengths to me!? Also I used to get beaten by 172's in my 182.. Almost like it's pot luck with what Clio you buy..
Love it. That 182 will be a classic. Would love to see a fabia vrs (derv, ew) in a drag race against cars like these. Very different kind of car but all the forums reckon their mid range grunt is impressive.

I think many will know no surprise in that, basically the same engine as 182 so 185 hp is healthy as quoted, the toyota gt86 is quoted at 200 hp and only makes about 170 hp. Megane engined 197.. surely a mk1 Megane ?

It’s just the weight difference. 150kg more is a lot
I’ve had a few Renaultsport cars they’re amazing. Recently had a Clio 200, Megane RS 275 Trophy, then a 275 Trophy R, and now a Clio 172 Cup. The cup is a seriously rapid car even compared to the more powerful variants. It’s probably not far off Megane in terms of performance it really is rapid especially across country roads. Defo a car not to be underestimated 💪🏼🚙💨

Some braking distance challenge and rolling race would have been good!
Thought this would be the outcome, lighter and your engine is properly run in = speed advantage 👍
The mighty 182 must be nicely worn in with that mileage
My life is litterally still exactly the same... Still working, still looking after my grandad and still making youtube vids haha
