(December 2008) Renault Clio V6 Renault Sport Manufacturer Renault Sport Also called Renault Clio V6 Production 2001-2005 Predecessor Renault 5 Turbo II Class Hot hatch Body style(s) 2-door hatchback Layout MR layout Engine(s) 2946 cc V6 24v Transmission(s) 6-speed manual Length 3,830 mm (150.8 in) Height 1,420 mm (55.9 in) Curb weight 1,475 kg (3,252 lb) Related Renault Clio The Renault Clio V6 Renault Sport is a hot hatch designed and built by French automaker Renault (Phase 1 was built by TWR in Sweden and Phase 2 by RenaultSport in Dieppe).[1] It was launched in 2001 as another version of the Renault Clio. The long-term reviews in Evo magazine were enthusiastic for both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 versions, and Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson commented "In my perfect ten car garage I would definitely have one of these – no question". The Clio V6 Phase 1 was based on the Clio Mk II, though it shares very little by way of parts with that car. The 3.0 V6 engine, sourced from the Renault Laguna was upgraded to around 230 PS (169 kW; 227 bhp) and placed in the middle of the vehicle where the more ordinary Clios have rear seats - making this car a two-seater hot hatch. The Clio V6 was facelifted in 2003 to resemble the Clio Mk II Phase 2, and was extensively reworked following criticisms of the original Clio V6's handling (especially in the wet). The new vehicle had an upgraded 255 PS (188 kW; 252 bhp) V6, but also much more understeer than the Phase 1, a reworking of the suspension due to Tom Walkinshaw's TWR concern. In order to accommodate the radical change from front-engine, front-wheel drive hatchback to mid-engine, rear-wheel drive two-seater quasi-coupé, the car had to be extensively reworked structurally, leading to the Phase 1 version being some 300 kg (660 lb) heavier than the sportiest "regular" Clio, the 172 Cup. Due to this, even though the V6 model had significantly more power, it was not remarkably faster in a straight line accelerating to legal road speeds than the 172 Cup - accelerating to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.2 seconds compared to the Cup's 6.7 seconds - though its maximum speed was significantly higher (146 mph compared to 138 mph). The Clio V6 Phase 2 gained even more weight but offset it with even more power resulting in a reduced 0-60 mph run at 5.9 seconds and a 153 mph (246 km/h) top speed. Production of the specialized bodies was subcontracted to Valmet in Finland. The Clio V6 was between 2003-2006 the most powerful serial produced hatchback in the world with 255 bhp (190 kW), exceeding the older Ford Focus RS (212 PS (156 kW; 209 bhp)), the Alfa Romeo 147 GTA (250 PS (184 kW; 247 bhp)) and the SEAT León Cupra R (225 PS (165 kW; 222 bhp)), and only surpassed by the newer BMW 130i with 265 PS (195 kW; 261 bhp), Mazda 3 MPS with 260 PS (191 kW; 256 bhp) and Audi S3 with 269 PS (198 kW; 265 bhp) and Ford Focus RS mk2 with 305 PS (224 kW; 301 bhp) Though based on a utilitarian hatchback, the Clio V6 is not a practical family car. Owners struggle to achieve over 25 miles to the gallon,[clarification needed] which leads to an empty fuel tank in just over 300 miles (480 km). The loss of the back seats and most of the boot space, due to the engine placement, results in a severe restriction in luggage space - there is only a small space in the front where the engine used to be, suitable for a holdall or week-end groceries, a small netted area behind the seats plus a small stash area under the tailgate. The enhanced steering makes tight manoeuvring a little challenging but multi-story carparks are still negotiable. The turning circle is 13 m (43 ft) - around three car lengths - turning what might normally be a three-point turn into a five-point turn. Standard equipment includes rain sensing windscreen wipers, automatic headlights, air conditioning, and six speakers and CD changer. The last Clio V6 retailed for £ 27,125 in the United Kingdom, until it was withdrawn from sale coinciding with a facelift for the Clio range. As of yet there is no news on a new Clio V6 model, although a Clio GT version is in the pipeline according to autoexpress magazine.

A recipe for madness or immense fun?What sort of girlfriend would you really like? A very pretty, high maintenance woman that spends ages getting ready and loves make up, besides being a label shopacholic. Or perhaps a plainer girl that is keen on unusual sports, foreign films and not fussed by �label� clothes and overpriced winebars. Sounds much more fun to be with and hey the conversation will be erudite too! Cars are a bit like this, even performance models. Imprezas and EVos may have be fast and very capable but their oriental efficiency often results in a lack of depth or soul. As exciting but with more character is the mid�engined Clio V6. Is it right to seriously consider such a wild rear-drive oddball in the same company as the uber Japanese kings though? Drive one and I guarantee that you'll emerge with a bigger smile and your chequebook poised. This car has oodles of character and soul. It�s a far bigger hoot than the obvious competitors. For a start that 3 litre V6 sings the minute you stroke the throttle. Well, muted it may be, but what a soundtrack to enjoy if the mood takes you. Find a sports exhaust and hark back to Metro 6R4 days... Look at Me Then there are the cane toad looks! Hardly handsome but unique. The new pointy nose is definitely an acquired taste. Within that new look are Xenon lights as standard and fogs lamps in the spoiler. Renault may have slipped up by not fitting a flexible lip to the base of that spoiler. Cracked fibreglass could be the result of overeager meetings with speed bumps. Quite a lot of revamping has gone on in an attempt to tame the wayward Mark One model. The salient points are that the engine is more powerful (252bhp) thanks to a number of modifications including new camshafts and valves, air filter, intake plenium and injectors to name but a few. More pertinent are the 23mm wheelbase increase and 33mm wider track along with a revised rear subframe and altered, strengthened damper mounts to contain the manic beast. Handling I well remember driving an original Renault 5 Turbo2 in pouring rain. Boy was that a pepperami in corners! This model by comparison is a pussycat. However, it will still try and swap ends on wet roundabouts if you apply the power too soon and too suddenly. All the more appropriate to remember - slow in fast out. Understeer is present in the dry, countered by progressive oversteer with right foot tickling. There is no traction control to reign in that rear. 66% of the weight of the car is at the rear which certainly helps traction, but the dark side is there if you want to venture beyond the limits of grip. You drive this car very much by the seat of your pants and the firm suspension bobbles over bumps. The ride is firm as you would expect, but good on our poor roads, coping well with potholes and cats eyes. It�s refreshingly involving, marred by an average steering rack giving you 2.8 turns lock to lock. It could certainly do with a quicker rack. The brakes lack feel from cold but certainly do the trick when they've got some heat in them. Enough Power The Clio V6 looks like its on steroids but 252bhp isn't quite in the mental league. The power delivery isn't explosive, requiring a bit of work with the six speed 'box to deliver the necessary urge when required. That 'box is a find piece of kit. It feels as if it would happily take another 50bhp. Stir it correctly and the Clio V6 will hurtle as requested. Many of the Japanese motors would run rings round the Clio V6 on twisty �B� roads, but will struggle to deliver as involving and enjoyable drive as the Clio offers. As you'd expect from a car with a V6 in the boot, luggage space is at a bit of a premium. There is a little space behind that sonorous V6 when you lift tailgate - you might get two slim carrier bags in but that�s really it! Up front things are a bit better. One overnight bag will fit but make sure that you've packed light! Any coats just fit happily behind the seats in a netted area. There are tiny door pockets and a slim glove box. The Alcantara and leather seats are comfy with good adjustment and the driving position is not bad. Only rake adjustment is available though. Inside Some magazines have critized the interior for not being special enough. I�m not so sure it matters really. The car is unique and the driving experience is what dominates. Exclusivity costs though, with the Clio V6 weighing in at �27,000. There's still scope for some further honing might to really bring the best out of this car and fully justify that price. The spec sheet is generous though, giving you air � con and a Thatcham alarm to name but a few items. And I am glad to say that you don�t have to have Impreza metallic petrol blue. There is a very discreet gunmetal grey or met maroon, which will suit the car admirably. Whilst we're on the subject of costs, drive one with verve everywhere and you may get around 18 mpg. Restraint will see 23 or so, which is partially down to the 60 kg of extra weight, pushing it to a hefty 1400 kg. Despite my gripes I loved the Clio V6. In this world of grey sameness, it's a refreshing injection of madness!
