>>28874587generally these enthusiast cars are not as profitablesince there are high taxes on larger displacement engines, especially in france, even 2L afaik is a higher tax bracket, whoever is ok with paying that much more for a car will want a bigger, more expensive car thats more of a status symbol than any Clio (and only enthusiasts will recognize that this isn't like any other Clio)then came the 2008 crisis and a lot of safety regulations that made cars heavier
>>28874587>French Ford focusIf it's the greatest car ever, why didn't it sell well enough to keep making it?
>>28874711>a 3 liter is considered a big enginedo europoors really?
>>28874721More popular does not mean more better anon, do better.

>>28874738low effort
0% chance any of you furries have taken a Clio RS around a trackNot even once>It's Baduuh!Really?And how the fuck would you know?
>>28874726In France yes
>>28874726In Poland cars prices include 3.1% displacement tax up to 2 l, 18.6% above 2 l, 1.55% for hybrids and 0% for evs. So more than 2 l is officially a big engine.
>>28874782megane rs >>>hon hon hons still know how to make a fast fwd hatchback
The clio is just the sequel to the turbo II Also the spider is cooler
>>28875198I prefer the wind.
>>288747262.0 L engine can deliver 250-300 hp currently. Where in the world is that not enough for normal driving?
>>28876439a 5 liter delivering 250hp is better than a 2.0 liter delivering 265hp.
>>28876435Not a bad car, basically a convertible Twingo RS. Though I think the 1.6 liter one is quite pricy nowadays.
>>28876479Incorrect
>>28874587looks fantastic, but handling is apparently very bad.
>a 5 liter delivering 250hp is better than a 2.0 liter delivering 265hp.
>>28876439>Where in the world is that not enough for normal driving?What retard buys a performance car and drives it normally. Thats like dating a 10/10 and only fucking in missionary with the lights off. Not that you virgins would know anything about that.
>>28874587>make boring shitboxes for half a centuryCorrection- make fun shitboxes for half a century!
>>28876481The 1.2T can make almost as much power with a simple flash tune and some bigger injectors anyway, and with a bit more work it'll easily exceed the 1.6.Or if you're truly insane, make like that one madlad that swapped a Laguna GT 2.0T into his Twingo and crank up the boost for damn near 300hp. It's the same chassis, should be the same recipe.
>>28876691>What retard buys a performance car and drives it normally.Generally, someone who wants to keep their cool car and their ability to drive it.
>>28876760Sure, since it's a turbo, you can do all sorts of wack-ass things to it. But the 1.6 is smoother, plus you can tweak it as bit as well (though not as much as the 1.2T).
>>28874587a110 is baisically the successor
>>28876677its pretty tall and probably not really designed for this platform
>>28876479That heavily depends on whether the 2.0 is turbocharged or not. An N/A or superhcarged 2.0 liter makin 265 hp is better. A turbo 2.0 making 265 hp is worse.
>>28876479HP is a meaningless number
>>28877482Let's see how you outrace a Koenigsegg in a Miata
