Renault has long had a knack for building hot hatches that stir the soul, and the 2016 Clio Renault Sport Trophy 220 is a shining example of that legacy. Developed by the acclaimed Renault Sport division, this special edition turns the everyday Clio into a finely honed performance machine, one that delivers genuine thrills without sacrificing usability. With just 47,347 miles on the clock, this particular example remains tight, fresh, and ready to entertain. At the heart of the Trophy lies a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine, tuned to a healthy 220 bhp. It?s paired to a rapid-shifting EDC dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters, and the result is a powertrain that?s as punchy as it is responsive. The chassis is sharper than the standard RS, sitting lower and stiffer, with upgraded dampers and faster steering. On a twisty road, it?s razor-sharp, composed, agile, and utterly engaging, with that playful edge Renault Sport is famous for. Special edition touches, including bespoke badging, 18-inch alloy wheels, red brake calipers, and an Alcantara-trimmed cabin, add visual drama to match the mechanical upgrades. The Trophy Nav spec brings sat-nav, climate control, and all the tech you?d want in a daily, making this hot hatch as liveable as it is exhilarating. In short, this low-mileage Clio RS Trophy is not just a quick car, it?s a celebration of what a proper hot hatch should be.
