Renault"s latest Clio Trophy is fast. Really fast. Eight minutes, 23 seconds around the N rburging fast.That"s the time that"s just been posted by German magazine Sport Auto, as it compared a bunch of diddly hot hatchbacks. And in doing so, Renaultsport"s 217bhp, 1.6-litre Trophy managed to beat Audi"s four-wheel-drive, 228bhp 2-litre S1 Quattro by nearly 20 secondsIgnore the murky issues of variables like weather and driver ability - because that"s no fun - and the Clio"s time is even more startling.At 8:23, the Clio 220 Trophy is quicker around the Green Hell than the fastest quoted times for the Lotus Exige S, Audi RS4 and - incredibly - the bonkers, 300bhp mk2 Focus RS.
