KID_SRi - yip that car in the pic is the one we have here, it has 172kw @ 6000 r/min, so this beast your talking about must be awesome in comparison - as far as I know this is the only Clio like this - anywhere - I think you got your Horsepower and kw mixed up there a bit.

I found the article on the 14 cars that were tested that day - the clio V6 was 8th fastest around Zwartkops.

Hey Pablo.
What are the specs on the Opel Coupe?
That's a pretty impressive time judging by the other cars in the comparison.

[Jass]

Is that the same opel coupoe they use in the UK for track racing, that redlines at liek 8,2000 rpm?? :S

Is it the non turbo 2.0L one?

[Pablo]

The Coupé is the 2.0 Ecotech Turbo 147kw............

The 172Kw Clio is the 2000/2001 Model.
Theres a New Model In France soon to be here that Around 250Kw,
Its been in all the Car Magazine here for a while.

as much as i love opels......i just can't believe that an opel coupe 2.0 turbo could beat some of the cars listed....

to me the coupe' isn't THAT much of sports car...compared to AMG stlye and some of these high powered cars...

new astra - way too tall.. alike the honda jazz; dissapointed why they haven't tuned the new astra, to say, perform as well as a honda accord euro, which is also 4 cyl..; yes radical styling drastically different and exaggerated compared to the G but they seem to be getting better shots of the car with time..; front lights a bit big? but at least smaller than the vectra..

i was expected class leading handling like the 3 series, at least improved performance, and an upmarket cabin. think of the new golf, better than better now.. the astra will need to put up a good fight.

either way, i will definitely test drive one when it comes out. did that for the mazda 3.. not totally impressed (also very shocked by the many brands for which the mazda 3 took ideas from).

time will tell
