RENAULTSPORT CLIO V6 255 - 24,000 MILES

NOW RESERVED/SIMILAR REQUIRED

We are thrilled to offer for sale this lovely Illiad Blue Renaultsport Clio V6 255. First registered in January 2005, UK car #53 has covered 24,000 miles from new and is in superb condition both inside and out. The car has been dry stored in recent years and will be sent to SG Motorsport for a full engine out cambelt and major service before being delivered to its new owner. The car is also currently fitted with a bespoke aftermarket exhaust system however the original system will be sold with the car and reinstalled if so desired.

With only 2,822 V6 cars ever produced globally (1513 units Phase I and 1309 units Phase II) between 2001-2005; it is unlikely we ever see a mid-engined, rear wheel drive hot hatchback produced again. The naturally aspirated 3 litre V6 is also a dying breed with most modern day performance hatches favouring 1.4-2litre turbocharged configurations.

The styling is a huge part of this cars character. With its wide arches, low stance and large side air intakes all taken directly from the Clio V6 Trophy car which preceded it create a truly imposing road presence.

You don’t appreciate what an incredible driver’s car the V6 is until you get it onto a B-road. The ride is firm yet pliable with the road tarmac and cambers while the steering is refreshingly analogue versus modern day exotica but still very communicative and responsive. Then you step on the throttle and hear the remarkably smooth sound of the 3 litre V6 coming to life in an extremely linear way. Gear changes are seamless through the 6 speed manual with great torque at the lower end of the rev range.

As an investment; clean, low mileage and unmodified cars are very hard to come by and although prices are comfortably off their 2014 lows, we believe they still have much further to climb.
