Used Sports Cars - Renault Clio 3.0 V6 24V - Sports Cars
One of the most extreme and sexiest sports compact cars ever made. His ratings are skyrocketing today
There is something genius and disgusting about taking one Renault Clio, make it rear-wheel drive, and as if that weren't enough to replace the passenger seats with a big 6 V3.0 engine. This is not the first madness we see with Renault technicians, people who also installed a V10 F1 engine in a Renault Espace, but at least they didn't have the guts to sell it: Clio V6 3.0 24V, instead, yes.
To live Renault Clio 3.0 V6 24V muscular and almost monstrous like a creature Frankenstein... It looks more like a prototype than a road car, and its proportions are so exaggerated that they make it more exotic than many of the more famous sports cars.
In fact, in addition to lighting and stylistic features, under the skin of the Clio V6 it has very little in common with the standard car: the rear suspension has been redesigned, as well as the front suspension, in which the anti-roll bar is increased; Subframes were then added to support the engine, tires with 17-inch wheels differ between the front and rear wheels, and the braking system was increased.
Le The roads were widely expanded (by 110 mm in front и 138 mm at the back) and the wheelbase has been slightly lengthened to make the car more stable.
This transformation made little Clio a little fat, which is well appreciated by the weight. 300 kg more Compared Cup Clio 172, front-wheel drive sister with a 2,0-liter four-cylinder engine. Engine 3.0 produces 230 hp, not a lot, to be honest, not even by the standards of that time, but the sound of atmospheric V6 is priceless... The data speaks for one thing 0-100 km / h in 6,4 seconds и maximum speed 235 km / h... In 2003, two years after the appearance of the first model, the Clio V6 underwent a restyling, and with it some aesthetic and technical changes: the wheels became 18 inches, suspension and trim have been revised to make the vehicle lighter, and the engine has received additional power by only 255 hp
MINI SUPERCAR
If not for this (ugly) steering wheel tilted and the dashboard is taken from Renault at a low level, the seemingly Porsche Carrera 911 drives more than the Clio.
Il central engine makes the car very light in front and sensitive to accelerator pedal release. Driving this car is not easy and it cannot be reassuring: it requires handling, experience and impute precise and gentle; but as soon as that happens, you have the feeling of a mini supercar. There is no other compact sports car with similar characteristics, its behavior is much more similar to that of the Lotus Elise than you might imagine.
Version restyling after 2003 improves significantly inappeal and it's easier and much faster, but it costs a lot more. And price is not one of its strengths.
PRICE
Le Renault Clio 3.0 V6 24V become as rare as unicorns and evaluation are growing rapidly. Pre-styling versions are more expensive 40.000 euro, and the newest copies of post-restyled versions even surpass 60.000 euro... It's not a bargain, of course not, but this is a car that definitely won't lose value and its prices are likely to rise again.
Not to mention, there is really something special behind the wheel.
