雷诺在日内瓦车展发布了动力更强劲，换挡更迅速的Clio Renaultsport 220 Trophy EDC。与Clio RS相比，新车最大变化是它的引擎盖下搭载了一台新的1.6升四缸涡轮增压引擎，功率和扭矩分别增加了20马力和20牛米，达到162千瓦/220马力和260牛米，而引擎最高转速也从原来的6500转提升至6800转。更重要的是，挂上第四档和第五档时有扭矩提升功能，可将扭矩瞬间提升至280牛米。雷诺还对EDC的变速器进行升级，通过对软件进行调整，在正常和运动模式下换挡速度提升40%，而在赛车模式下更可提升50%。该车还标配18英寸合金轮圈并搭配米其林Pilot Super Sport 205/40R18轮胎，更快转向齿条可使方向盘行程减少30%，而引擎停启系统在正常模式下有效，在运动和赛车模式下自动关闭。该车将于6月在欧洲上市。

 

Clio Renaultsport 220 Trophy EDC arrives in Geneva with more power and quicker gearbox

The Clio Renaultsport 220 Trophy EDC has made its public debut in Geneva.

 

The most significant changes compared to the regular Clio RS have occurred underneath the hood where the 4-cylinder, 1.6-liter turbo engine has gained an extra 20 HP & 20 Nm for a grand total of 220 HP (162 kW) and 260 Nm (192 lb-ft) while the rev limit has increased from 6,500 rpm to 6,800 rpm. Moreover, there's a torque boost function available in fourth and fifth gears which offers a temporary peak torque of 280 Nm (207 lb-ft).

 

Perhaps even better news is the fact that Renault has made some updates to the EDC transmission which promises to provide up to 40 percent quicker gear shifts in Normal and Sport modes and as much as 50 percent faster shifts when in Race mode thanks to a software calibration.

 

The Clio Renaultsport 220 Trophy EDC comes with 18-inch Radical alloy wheels with black inserts and diamond-like facings which have been wrapped around in Michelin Pilot Super Sport 205/40R18 tires. It has gained a quicker steering rack which has reduced travel by 30 percent while the stop/start system will work in Normal mode but is going to be turned off in Sport and Race modes.
