There’s a new variant in Renault’s new Clio range, the new Clio Dynamique S 138, like it’s namesake featuring a 138hp 2.0 litre DOHC engine with variable valve timing, with a maximum torque of 194Nm at 3,750rpm giving the big engine small hot hatch a 0-100km/h time of 8.5 seconds and a top speed of 204km/h.

Other enhancements over the standard Clio range include 16 inch alloy wheels, a sporty front lip, extra tinting on the rear windows, and a ‘style pack consisting of sports headlamps, dedicated cornering lights, front foglamps and satin chrome door handles.

The new Clio Dynamique S 138 is positioned below the even more powerful top of the range Clio Renaultsport 197. Now the question is, can this engine be stuffed into a Proton Savvy? ;)

    I don't think the 2.0L engine could be fitted into the Savvy by just simply dropping. Shoehorning into the Savvy, probably can. The renault 1.6L engine should be able to be fitted into the Savvy without any major problem. Just my opinion. Interesting to know that Speedworks is working on a bolt on turbocharger kit for the Savvy. Can't wait to see its results.

    a citroen ZX 2.0 engine can be fitted into a proton tiara chassis without, that is according to my trusted ol' mechanic la .. The previous generation 8-valve engines shares the same mounting positions .. 1.1, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 1.9 and 2.0 have the same mount positions.

    putting a 2.0 engine into such a small car will be pain in d @ss for future maintenance. I'm sure nobody wants to remove the whole engine just to change some fan belt rite?
