The Renault Clio V6 Renault Sport was based on the Renault Clio Mark II, though it shares very few parts with that car. The 3.0 V6 engine, sourced from the PSA group, was upgraded to around 230 horsepower and placed in the middle of the vehicle, where standard Clios have rear seats – making this car a two-seater hot hatch. The mid-engined, wide-body concept of the Clio V6 was very reminiscent of the 1980s Renault 5 Turbo. Both road going models were low volume produciton making them very rare cars. Alongside the road car, a circuit only version was prodcued, known as the Clio V6 Trophy.
Designed by French automaker Renault, the Phase 1 models were built by Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) in Uddevalla, Sweden. The Phase 2 models were designed and hand built by Renault Sport in Dieppe, France. Both variants however were developed by TWR. A total production of 1.631 examples were built between 2001 and 2002.
This Renault Clio V6 Phase 1 was originally delivered in The Netherlands. In 2018 the car was acquired by the last custodian and part of an important collection. The car was pampered and recent invoices for service work, new exhaust, brakes, distribution et cetera are present in the car’s history file. The car comes with a valid road registration for The Netherlands and a new APK (like MOT/TUV/CT).
