Veery nice, I love these. So what're the mods?

Other than the V6 where the kids should be that is

Blackhawk47 · 21 Jan 2011 at 18:01

Wowza!

At first I thought that someones got a halfords voucher for Xmas.

Bit of a pocket rocket though!

RenoRanes007 · 21 Jan 2011 at 18:28

lol, like the number plate!

V6 Clio is win, They just cost too much compared for what is still a small hatchback (in terms of appearance)

End Creditz · 21 Jan 2011 at 18:43

Properly hot hatch

Biohazard · 21 Jan 2011 at 18:45

Hmmm, I've been tempted by V6's recently.

They are so god damn cheap for phase 1's now especially.

Good luck if anything bespoke breaks though

It's not really fair to say that because in that case it can be applied to any performance car loosely 'based' on a car of humbler origins.

Does a M5 cost too much considering that it is still a rep-mobile (in terms of appearance)?

It's not really a small hatchback at all in execution, is it? It might look like one but it's closer to a mid engined sports car than a small hatchback in terms of how it actually drives and how its actually built.

They are actually quite heavy.

Phase 1 V6 will give similar performance to a 172.

thats why i put in terms of appearance. That thing is mental!

New JDM Grill and standard badge back on

Fun pic.

This sat waiting to go on when funds allow for remap.

Dup · 21 Jan 2011 at 20:43

Love the V6 in that colour. There's one near with the plate V6 GUD

Fr0dders · 21 Jan 2011 at 20:48

Steering wheel on the Clio V6 is a bit marmite but nevermind. On the whole a lovely looking car

Hxc · 21 Jan 2011 at 21:13

Clio V6 is just phenominal. Fab looking, fab sounding, absolutely bonkers.

Slower than the 1x2s in real life though? I know which I'd have, mind

Nahh its not, maybe round a track the 1*2 are better, thanks to the V6 being quite heavy and tail happy.

Awesome machine, and the last of that type we will ever see. Credit to Renault for making it

mjt · 21 Jan 2011 at 21:21

Apparently they're rather a handful to drive though, although maybe that was just the phase ones?

The Vee is harder to drive on the limit, so unless you can drive properly a 1X2 is faster on track. BUT on the road, and if you can drive properly on track the Vee is faster.

Its a challenge, and that's part of the appeal.
