Scoop: 2013 Renault Clio RS 200 Undisguised in White, Paris Motor Show Debut and EDC Confirmed


Only yesterday, we brought you pictures of the new Clio RenaultSport (RS) Mk4 without a single trace of camouflage, but our scoop photographers were fortunate enough to spot a second undisguised prototype, this one finished in a more revealing white instead of black exterior shade.

Spy Shots: New Renault Clio RS Mk4 Caught Completely Undisguised!


Even though Renault hasn't made it clear it yet if the regular fourth-generation Clio supermini will be joined by its performance brethren, the Clio RenaultSport (RS), at the brand's the Paris Motor Show stand, there's a good chance it will.

Those of you who just can't wait to see how the 2013 Clio RS Mk4 looks like, we have good news as for the first time, our spy photographers nabbed the hot hatch completely undisguised at Renault's Nürburgring facility.

The frisky French supermini will take on the likes of the also new Peugeot 208 GTi and the Volkswagen Polo GTi when it goes on sale in Europe next year.

On the outside, the RenaultSport variant obtains a rather discreet styling package, which includes a newly styled front bumper with enlarged air vents, a honeycomb grille insert surrounded by a body-colored strip (instead of the regular model's chrome finish), side skirts, a larger roof spoiler and a twin-exhaust set-up in the rear apron that hosts a diffuser.

Renault Clio RS Mk4: Three Designers Speculate on its Looks


Following the presentation of the 2013 Renault Clio hatchback earlier this week, we received not one, not two but three separate design renderings in our mailbox, each attempting to imagine the next generation of the Clio RS.

The designs were made by 'Cavalino', Dan Buzdugan of PS-Garage and Khalil Bouguerra of Virtuel-Car, all of whom based their renderings on the prototypes captured by spy photographers over the previous months as well as the one that made a surprise appearance at the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed just last weekend.
