The Renault Clio Rally4 is a rally car developed and built by Renault Sport for the Rally Pyramid regulation of the Rally4 category. It is based upon the Renault Clio road car and used by the crews competing the European Rally Championship-3.[2]

Development

[edit]

The Renault Clio Rally4 weighs 1,080 kilograms (2,380 lb) and features a five-speed sequential gearbox and a turbocharged 1,330-cubic-centimetre (81 cu in) four-cylinder engine, which is more powerful than that in the Rally5 variant.[1][3] It features adjustable shock absorbers, using slightly wider tyres at tarmac events than the Rally5 car.[1][3] The Rally4 car is largely based upon the Rally5 version in most aspects,[2][4] which itself is derived from the standard road-going R.S. Line model of the mark five Clio.[3]

Competition history

[edit]

The car made its debut at the Targa Florio – Rally Internazionale di Sicilia, driven by Paolo Andreucci.[5]
