The 2003 Renault Clio Renaultsport 172 Cup is not just a hatchback — it’s a true hot hatch icon, built during an era when driving excitement, lightweight design, and pure performance were the focus. Developed by Renaultsport, the performance division of Renault, the 172 Cup is a more focused and stripped-down version of the already popular Clio 172, designed specifically for enthusiasts who value raw driving feel over luxury.

Under the hood, this model is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.0L 4-cylinder engine producing 172 bhp, delivering sharp throttle response and an engaging driving experience. Paired with a manual gearbox, this front-wheel-drive hatchback offers precise control, quick acceleration, and a lightweight feel that makes it incredibly fun on both city roads and winding backroads.

With only 60,800 miles, this vehicle stands out as a well-preserved example of a modern classic. Its compact 3-door hatchback design, finished in blue, adds to its sporty character, while the performance-focused engineering ensures it remains exciting to drive even today.

The Renaultsport 172 Cup is widely appreciated in automotive history for its balance, handling, and driver-focused simplicity. It represents a time when hot hatches were built to be raw, responsive, and connected to the road — qualities that continue to make it highly desirable among enthusiasts and collectors.
