Renault Clio 3.0 V6 RS

"Ooooooh that's fantastic!!!" - Jeremy Clarkson

Some cars you only have to see and you are sold. The Renault Clio V6 Phase 2 is such a car. It is the kind of machine that gets your heart rate up even before you get behind the wheel. The perfect blend of insane performance and pure fun.  

The secret? Simple. Take a good, everyday hatchback, throw all practicality out the window, and put in as much engine as you can. The result: a mid-engine like you find in a supercar, rear-wheel drive like you want in a supercar, the sound of a supercar, and it just looks like a supercar, too.

But this is no ordinary hot hatch. It's a 3.0-liter V6 with an attitude that unceremoniously puts a Porsche 996 4S to shame at the stoplight. You get in, step on the gas, the revs shoot up, and you are blasted away as if you were in Elon Musk's latest toy. The grip is spectacular, the handling addictive, and every turn feels like a new challenge to go even faster. But beware, this car bites back if you're too eager.

This Clio V6 is an ode to madness, a celebration of what happens when French engineers decide to put common sense aside and go purely for the adrenaline.

Can it get any better? Sure! As you have come to expect from us, there is always boss over boss. This French-delivered Clio is not an ode to madness, but the chef-d'œuvre of chaos and unprecedented fun. In recent years it has been in the hands of the perfect enthusiast with a higher plan. After all, who had a compressor installed for a whopping 15,000 euros. The result? Almost 360 HP. All this is topped off with Cromodora wheels, aluminum prescriptions, a new stainless steel exhaust and KW-racing adjustable mufflers (and much more). Should you want to build it all back to original. You can always do that. But we'd leave it just the way it is. Will we see you soon? We know you want it.

"An absolute weapon and the sort of car that could never exist today."
