500+Hp Renault Clio E1 Turbo || Most Powerful FWD Monster in Europe

That's one aggressive baguette!

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Oh la la !!

[@MrWhitePerson]

that traction control never worked this hard in it's life

[@primuse.x.e6141]

LMAO

[@faizaanahmed1540]

It was all going so well, glad the car wasn't heavily damaged

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Just cosmetic, it went on without any damage whatsoever ;)

[@kr9-]

You mean you're glad the car and the driver weren't heavily damaged

[@ForOdin]

Traction control working hard AF!

[@Sharrendan]

That is a damn sexy Clio! 🔥

[@HillClimbMonsters]

It does look great, now it will be a question of time until the speed matches the great looks ;)

[@manostet6594]

The sound of the turbo whistling is faster than sound

[@groomlake51]

Sounds like it runs great🤦‍♂️thanks traction control 🤣

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Well, rainy conditions did not help one bit. Let´s wait for better conditions and more development in 2021 to make a better judgement ;)

Dang, the rear diffuser on that Renault looked like lanes at a bowling alley

[@sergiopassos376]

Also wheels look small I'm guessing not that many long straights So smaller size would be more efficient for quicker acceleration

[@fan2lexus]

Imagine the same kind of project based on the GR Yaris, that would be savage. 💪😱

[@luisangeljaquez3951]

I was just thinking 🤔 “hmmm this driver can handle... ooh” but the car looks and sounds amazing

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Just a little incident, it happens when you´re this early on the development of such a unique car. And Matej is certainly a good driver, his track record is pretty impressive ;)

[@giorgio5789]

Is the body kit hand made or pre made? It looks insanely aggressive

Totally bespoke ;)

That livery combined with the bodywork is striking... Brb, gonna go make this car in Forza Horizon 4.

It's really easy to spin like that in a FWD if you suddenly lift the gas in the middle of the corner

[@lucatronconi3558]

Gearbox?.

[@HexlGaming]

why did you choose to interpolate all the footage? it looks so blurry now

[@sealgraffit]

Seems to have a very intrusive TCS! Do you know if the swap comes from a Megane 2 or Megane 3?

[@HillClimbMonsters]

500+Hp, rainy conditions and FWD machine in the early stages of development make for some defensive use of TCS for sure ;) Engine comes from a Mégane 3.

[@sealgraffit]

That thing sounds awesome. Do i here a Revo intake?, sounds like my PE Fiesta lol.

[@cupidstunt22]

Holy diffuser Batman!

[@mituc]

Something is weird with this setup, maybe a bit too stiff and unwillingly to rotate properly? Awesome car otherwise, too bad a good part of the footage was on wet.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Still early in its development stage and on wet conditions a very aggressive TCS setting was being used. Should ease up quite a lot during 2021 ;)

[@Grimm-Gaming]

I would kill to have any of these cars here in the states...i drive a boring chevy impala midsize sedan...all it does is comfortable and quiet. I want some crazy little euro car

[@Dfpijgyt564s65sgt]

It happens, and no mechanical damage whatsoever was caused there ;)

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

It sounds like it is having trouble getting up to power sometimes or is that traction control or something?

[@burakkutlu]

I want this 😰

[@lucabettoni1452]

It is fwd tho... Amazing car.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Well, it certainly makes for something different. If anyhting it will be interesting to see a team trying to tame this much power with only the front wheels...

[@nevenblaskovic7627]

Car is awesome but i think the fwd with 500hp is not very clever.

[@HolzDennis]

What is with that Golf 2 from Austria?

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Should come back in 2021 if everything goes alright.

[@FoxDHX]

What's its redline? 3000rpm by the sounds of it..

At least 6000

[@RS-nq8xk]

@@primuse.x.e6141 That's a turbocharged modern race engine for you... Even rally engines from the 90s only needed 6000rpm or so to make their power (due to heavily restricted airflow)

@@RS-nq8xk oh ok

[@diocan7710]

Still no Awd😥

[@TheCybusterGundam]

If Renault make an AWD sport car i'd buy it right away. People who's saying that French cars are shit are really living in the past.

[@diocan7710]

@@TheCybusterGundam totally agrees with you

[@CarlosGarcia-ze6rt]

There's a Clio rally car with AWD. It's called the Clio n5, i love it

[@SpeedHackVideos]

As far as we've heard, it would cost him around 20k€ to make the car 4wd. It's quite a big investment so he will probably stay on fwd for now until he gets used to the car and develop it a bit more.

bruh you can't use that power. those engines were overbuilt for the car they were put in

[@MartlRS]

The 2 fastest FWD time attack cars in the world have over 800hp and run laptimes you would never guess! Don’t underestimate the fwd section. Search for William Au-Yeung! He did the 4th or 5th fastest time ever around Tsukuba with its fwd.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

The day the 720Hp Saab 9-5´s start doing Hilllcimb Racing in Europe they´ll take the crown from this Clio. Until then, they are on their own realm, not ours ;)

It's traction control working very hard because it's rainy day.

[@BistroGlicerin3]

ESP on 🤟💀🥀🏴‍☠️

[@enfantterrible4868]

I think it is some kind of Motorsport traction control, not regular ESP

[@georgekurgansky5986]

It looked like he had it lined up fine but no power or neutral past apex. Hard to tell. At least he's stopped well before it got near the hard structure of the car. I think if it was all working it would have powered out with a bit of a wobble. May be he thought it was safer not to hit the inside and go for the further away outside with the rear, more predictable and more likely to walk away. You don't really get to think at the time do you lol.
