Yup as said, if you've got the cash anything is possible.
Step 1: Buy Subaru Impreza
Step 2: Buy Clio
Step 3: Graft subaru running gear into clio chassis
Easy peasy.
Truth be told, the above is actually fairly easy, mainly just fabricating mounts and altering the clio floor plan to accept the subaru running gear.
The hard part is getting it to handle remotely acceptably

More interesting would be to squeeze a V8 in somehow!??

you would just use the scooby floorpan.
(not using subaru as a base)its not difficult at all if you're not fussed about the renault electrics.
if i were to do it i'd probably base it on a ford.. siera floorpan or something then if you wanted to use the renault engine still you'd have to get a bit creative.
its all doable if you know how and have the money
There are (were) a few companies around years ago who'd do sierra cosworth conversions in the fiesta which could be rwd or 4wd, I've actually seen a MK1 fiesta with a rwd conversion.
Like it's been said you can do it but to do a nice job it'd be best to use Renault parts otherwize it's just a kit car with a clio shell (well, that's the way I look at it) if it is renault throughout, I can't think of a readily available 4x4 renault which'd be any good to use as donor and provide enough poke to be worth doing. And I dont like twin engined cars.
I helped put a rover v8 in an mg years ago and learned then how much work is involved in what I would regard as a fairly simple job. A 4x4 clio would be awsome but not easy or cheap to do.

Where's the fun in that! If everyone wanted the same thing the world would be a very boaring place.... just check this out then tell them to just go buy a Cossie

Lol the'l quot you something silly like 15k for a 300bhp cossi setup. maybe more. WRC would be stupid £££

In theory ??
Bolt a JC7 gearbox up from a scenic 2.0 16v RX4 and the fabricate a transmission tunnel in the clio body shell. Fit the RX4 prop and back axle. Trouble is the RX4 chews the JC7 boxes up with its version of the 140 bhp F4R engine so it wont last 2 mins with the 172bhp clio unit ( unless you strengthen them )

Yep its an option but gearbox won't last long.
