2002 RENAULT CLIO

Iconic Sports Car. One Owner-AVN are proud to present an great investment opportunity a one owner Renault Clio V6. Recently acquired from a car collector that has had it maintained and dry stored for several years. From the reveal of the original concept at the 1998 Paris Motor Show through to the current day, the Clio V6 has captivated car enthusiasts with its absolute commitment to performance and extreme mid-engine design, the latter ensuring it has more in common with supercars and formidable 1980s Group B rally cars than the compact front-wheel drive hatchback upon which it is based.At launch, the Clio V6 was simply unrivalled. It was the worlds only mid-engine hatchback, offering superior performance to more expensive prestige sports cars, and such was its fiery nature that customers were invited to take part in the V6 Experience where they could test drive the car in a controlled proving ground environment and enjoy training from qualified instructors.The exclusivity of the Clio V6 was further heightened through its limited production run. Manufacturing of right-hand drive versions was restricted to 400 cars per annum and on its announcement in 2000, 500 orders for RHD cars had already been placed. Those who heard the news and were inspired to join the queue had to wait for an expected delivery date of 2002. Each cars individual build number was shown on a plaque positioned in the centre console.To the delight of motoring enthusiasts, the original Phase 1 Clio V6 was reported to be 98 per cent faithful to the Paris Motor Show concept.At the heart of its mid-engine architecture and sitting where you would find the rear seats of a normal front-wheel drive Clio, was the same naturally aspirated 3.0-litre V6 engine that was derived from that used in the Renault Laguna. For its application in the Clio, the V6 was modified with the likes of new pistons, an increased compression ratio, enlarged inlet ports and a higher rev limit of 7,100rpm. Slightly detuned from that of the Trophy competition cars, the V6 developed 230 bhp and maximum torque of 300 Nm at 3,750 rpm
