| Renault Clio V6 2001 |
When Renault launched the V6 Sport Clio in 2001, it was broadly based on the Renault Clio Mk. II; however, the V6 variant actually shares very little with its standard counterpart. The 3.0-Litre V6 engine was taken from the Renault Laguna and tuned to 227bhp before being placed into the middle of the Clio, replacing the rear seats, and turning this car into a 'very hot hatch'. Capable of accelerating to 0-60 in just 6.2 seconds with a top speed of 146mph, the Clio V6 Sport was, in many ways, the spiritual successor to the wild, rally based mid-engine Renault Five Turbo of the 1980s. The Clio Mk. II had to be extensively reworked structurally to accommodate the transition, transforming the car from a front-engined, front wheel drive car, to a mid-engine, rear wheel drive machine. This is certainly not a car for the faint hearted; built in limited numbers and mainly driven by only the true enthusiasts of the day.
