At a guess i would say thae car will be:

200 bhp
Heavier
Bigger
Fatter
Safer
0-60 in about 7 seconds
Handle worse due to weight
look like a round bubble
Be un-agressive

If 200 bhp is the figure, i would say we are in for a fatty of a new car. For insurance reasons (and legal liability) no manufacturer is going to let a small car costing 15k get to 60 in less than 6.5 seconds because of the safety implications of high speed in small car, plus the implications of stepping on the toes of their sporty range (no one will buy a V6 at 25k if a 15k Clio goes quicker). So at 200 bhp it looks like the new Clio will be around the same weight as the Civic type R.

Makes me laugh the sad people who think that because the car 'may' have 200 bhp it will be some kind of rocket ship. They forget every car from every manufacturer has got bigger and heavier over time, and as a result power has had to go up, but performance has stayed about the same (except cornering, where a light car will excel).


LOL.
