1992 RENAULT CLIO 16 S - Lot 77

1992 RENAULT CLIO 16 S Serial number VF1C57505068701171 French registration - 2 owners in 20 years - Service history - A fine alternative to the 205 GTI Introduced in 1991, the Renault Clio 16 S is the worthy descendant of the Super 5 GT Turbo. Its 1.8-liter, 16-valve, naturally-aspirated engine is identical to that of the R19 16 S. The Clio's acceleration is convincing, thanks to its comfortable 140 hp and weight kept under a ton. But it was above all thanks to its running gear that the Clio 16 S became the benchmark in the GTI category in the early 90s. By the end of its career, the Peugeot 205 1.9L queen was no match in terms of roadholding. Externally, the Clio 16 S immediately stands out from a "basic" Clio, with its domed hood perforated to cool the exhaust manifold. On the dashboard, 3 additional gauges complement the traditional instruments. Our 1992 model, with 173,000 km on the clock, is a non-catalyzed version, the most sought-after among enthusiasts. Our Clio is in beautiful original condition, both inside and out. It has not undergone any "tuning" transformation, which is rare for this model today. It's definitely a youngtimer to acquire before its value follows the meteoric rise of the Clio Renault Williams, from which it is technically not so far removed. 1992 RENAULT CLIO 16 S Serial number VF1C57505068701171 French registration - 2 owners in 20 years - Service history - A fine alternative to the 205 GTI Introduced in 1991, the Renault Clio 16 S is the worthy descendant of the Super 5 GT Turbo.
