It had a distinctive air inlet on the bonnet, a rear spoiler, 15” Speedline SL401 alloy wheels, side skirts, twin headlamps, Recaro bucket seats with optional leather trim, four in one exhaust manifold and ABS braking system with optional trip computer, air conditioning and electric sunroof. The ‘S’ is for soupapes, French for valves. It was praised for its excellent handling and rev happy F7P engine, which, along with the advanced Renix ECU, made it faster and more fuel efficient compared to most competitors. The braking system was upgraded to include vented discs as well as an uprated lower suspension setup and front strut bar. Phase II retained the original bumpers found throughout the range but added colour coded tops, rubber inserts, and a discreet lower splitter.
