280HP in a 1.6 Clio!? Imagine the understeer...

It has probably got a clever differential borrowed from the Megane RS or developed exclusively for this car.

The 1.6 motor has been replaced by the 2.0 unit and drivetrain from the Megane 275 Trophy-R. This means the DCT gearbox has been replaced by a 6 speed manual so the combined weight of the heavier 2.0 engine and the lighter gearbox is roughly the same as the combined weight of the lighter 1.6 motor and the heavier gearbox it's mated to in the current RS Clio. The limited slip diff from the hyper Megane is carried over too so understeer shouldn't be a problem.

...I was reading about this just today. The speed at which cars appear here is still astonishing, really...

Anyways, this is a concept, so uh, shouldn't concept label be placed in the title somewhere? I ask 'cuz I'm not 100% sure of the rule on this.

Yeah, if it's a concept it should say concept then whatever event it was first shown just before the year
