Paris - Presented as a preview at the Mondial de l'Automobile 1998 in
the form of a study derived from the competition-only "Trophy"
version, the Clio Renault Sport V6 will go on sale in November 2000.
A
project begun and overseen by Renault Sport, the Clio Renault Sport V6
has been developed and assembled in partnership with TWR (Tom Walkinshaw
Racing), which will also be responsible for assembling the car in
low-volume series from parts supplied by Renault. The project has thus
benefitted from the expertise of two major players in motor sport.
Strictly a two-seater, with its engine positioned mid-rear, with a
design which evokes sportiness and a V6 3-litre 24-valve engine of
230bhp driving through a 6-speed gearbox, the Clio Renault Sport V6 is a
unique vehicle. This extraordinary Clio, capable of accelerating from 0
to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds, is aimed at a body of demanding and
enthusiastic customers who are looking for a distinctive and powerful
vehicle which combines driving pleasure with comfort. Its price has been
set at FRF 240,000.
