Sports division of Renault — RenaultSport — refused to develop a “charged” crossover, even though the French considered the possibility of creating RS-models Сaptur and the most expensive. This is with reference to its own source said the publication Motoring.
“It is now absolutely clear that the draft RS-version of the crossover is closed. Of course, RenaultSport could build a really awesome car that was driven like no other SUV. However, we doubt that such a model would be sufficient demand,” — said the interlocutor of Motoring.
Before RenaultSport set a task to double the sale of “hot” cars by 2019. The French plan to begin exporting to Europe the Sandero hatchback RS, which is manufactured and sold in South America.
