🔥 THE ONLY Phase II RS220 Trophy for sale nationwide 🔥
Price: $18,500 (Negotiable)
Safety: 5-Star ANCAP Safety Record
If you know hot hatches, you know the Renault Clio Phase II RS220 Trophy is something incredibly special. Fast and agile straight off the showroom floor - clocking an 8:23 Nürburgring lap which outpaces a supercharged S2 Lotus Exige S, 987 Porsche Cayman S and closely matches an E46 BMW M3 (and continues to outpace many modern performance cars).
As Renault Sport concluded the Clio RS range during the Clio IV generation, this car stands as the absolute pinnacle and finale of the legendary Renault Sport Clio lineage. This is a highly regarded, factory-upgraded driver’s car that flawlessly balances raw racetrack pedigree with practical, fuel-efficient daily usability.
This meticulously maintained example has been my wife's spare car and has been driven sparingly, presents in great condition inside and out, and has always been carefully warmed up before every drive.
🏆 The Trophy Advantage: Why it Beats a Standard RS200
The RS220 Trophy is a completely re-engineered, ground-up overhaul by Renault Sport:
📌 More Punch & Overboost: Features a larger turbo, re-engineered intake, and a NISMO-derived motor producing 162kW (220hp) and a fierce 280Nm overboost function.
📌 Sharper Transmission: The dual-clutch transmission shifts 30% faster than the RS200 and has a 30% shorter throw on the Nissan GTR derived paddle shifters and features launch control.
📌 Trophy Chassis: Lowered from factory by 20mm at the front and 10mm at the rear with 40% stiffer rear springs for flat, telepathic handling and paired with 18" Trophy wheels.
📌 10% Faster Steering Rack: Features an ultra-direct 13.2:1 steering ratio for razor-sharp turn-in and incredible handling.
📌 Akrapovič Exhaust System: Factory fitted, providing a deeper mechanical note, distinct crackles and Akrapovič branded carbon tips. Only available with Phase II RS220s.
📌 Factory R.S. Monitor & GPS Data-Logger: Tracks live lap times, performance metrics, car setup, G-force meters, advanced telemetry gauges and live engine diagnostics.
⚡ The Phase II Refresh & Premium Factory Features
As a genuine Phase II facelift model, this car benefits from much-needed factory updates, styling, and premium creature comforts:
📌 R.S. Vision LED Lighting: Features the distinct triple-LED chequered flag front lights that act as fog, cornering, and sidelights.
📌 R-Link Bluetooth Integration: Factory touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apply CarPlay (aftermarket addition).
📌 Bose Audio Setup: Factory-optioned Bose premium sound system and integrated subwoofer.
📌 Cabin Comforts: Highly supportive, heated leather sports seats and updated premium interior layout
📌 Tech & Safety: Power windows and mirrors, Rear-view camera, front & rear parking sensors, cruise control, proximity keyless entry and start button.
📝 Vehicle Condition & History
📌 Drives absolutely perfectly with zero issues - a genuine, uncompromised example.
📌 Extensive service history including receipts for minor & major services (oil changes, filters, spark plugs, coolant flushes, gearbox oil etc). This is probably the most well documented example of any Clio IV RS on the market today.
📌 Equally at home on a morning commute or a spirited weekend twisty road.
📌 Unlike the Phase I RS220 which was part of a dealer allocation, the Phase II RS220 was built to order and are exceptionally hard to come by, with rarely one available nationwide at any given time.
Truly regretful sale as it's just not getting used enough and deserves to be appreciated. This is the perfect opportunity for the next owner to snap up a rare and seriously capable pocket rocket that punches well above its weight.
