One-time diesel van now has a tuned Clio 182 engine and full Cup suspension setup car auto cars
, but this DIY Renaultsport Kangoo really would give plenty of GTIs something to worry about.
What appears to have started life – judging by the badges on the doors – as a 1.5-liter diesel Kangoo van with a miserable 68 hp , is now the owner of a full Renaultsport Clio engine and suspension setup from the same era giving it almost three times as much muscle. That might at first seem like a fairly crazy mashup, but it makes perfects sense when you realize that the first-generation Kangoo built between 1997 and 2009 was based on the second-generation Clio. So while swapping the guts out of an early 2000s Clio 182 hot hatch and into the
wouldn’t have been an evening’s work, we imagine it would have been a fairly straightforward conversion that took this van from sleepy to sleeper.Dropping in the stock drivetrain from an 80,000-mile Clio 182 would have given the Kango an instant lift to 180 hp and sub-7-second zero to 60 mph performance. But the seller says the engine has received a set of cams from the later
197 plus a ported and polished inlet, a performance air filter, stainless steel exhaust and a remap that together deliver just under 200 hp .
