The upcoming Renault Clio R.S. is rumored to be getting a larger 1.8-litre turbocharged engine thanks to its brother, the Megane R.S. As reported by Caradisiac, the hot hatch is likely to make around 225bhp with the new engine, slightly up on output compared to what the current generation Clio R.S. Trophy makes. The Trophy makes 217bhp with its 1.6-litre turbocharged engine. With only a slight bump in power, Renault will be able to keep the smaller Clio R.S. from being too close in performance to its larger hot hatch, the Megane R.S. The same engine makes 276bhp in the Megane. The next generation Clio is expected to debut at the 2018 Paris Auto Show in October which also means that the RenaulSport variant should not arrive anytime sooner than late 2019.

Selected markets will be getting Renault's new special edition Clio R.S 18. It is named after the Renaultsport F1 Team's 2018 challenger and is adorned with the similarly themed black and yellow livery of the F1 car. Changes to the car are minor, but driving enthusiasts will still be happy to hear updates such as the revised front dampers with hydraulic compression stops, a sharper and more direct steering, and an Akrapovic exhaust for a deeper sound. Inside, the it gets a numbered R.S.-branded door sill, Alcantara and leather-trimmed steering wheel, carbon fiber trim air vent surrounds, and redesigned carpet mats. Since the R.S 18 is based on the Clio R.S 220 EDC Trophy, it uses same 217bhp 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine as its 'normal' sibling.
