A Streetcar named Desire

Marvellous film, but no, not talking about the 1951 classic. no desire even to discuss the over-delayed, over-hyped SRM neo. quite obvious SRM pre-launch ad campaign was inspired by the title of that film. pity it did not invoke the same desire.
now the real desire is out. F1 supremos F.Alonso and G.Fisichella already got their hands on one. Renault presents a highly desirable streetcar in the form of 2-door hothatch with F1 pedigree -- Clio RS. evolved from F1 dynamics is the air diffuser at the rear bumper similar to that of Nissan R34 G-TR's. it does away with the need for a rear wing spoiler to reduce rear-end lift. a suction effect is produced by channelling airflow to increase downforce up to 40kg. good looking front air vents dispel heat and direct airflow to wrap around the body for enhanced drive stability.Renault-Nissan alliance is coming into fruition too. driven by a 197 horses 2.0L engine coupled with 6-MT gearbox co-developed with Nissan, propels Clio RS from 0-100km/h in mere 6.9 sec and topping out at 215km/h.
French styling + Japs reliability in one pocket rocket -- i desire! i want!
