Just had a look at the new V6 and i have to say that it looks great, anybody know how much it will cost when it comes out ???

towser · Oct 2, 2002

Same as previous model apparently. £25,999

Dash · Oct 3, 2002

What are your opinions on the bright wheel colured air intakes?

Do they make the intakes look like stuck on Halfords extras?

Would they look good chromed, with chrome wheels?

I like them!!! (well sort of, theyre growing on me!!) What colours is the new V6 going to be available in???? Anyone know???

geoff_clio182 · Oct 3, 2002

Silver, Blue and Red to start with

Infinicar · Oct 3, 2002

The V6 in that 172 cup style blue, looks stunning until you get round the front.

Lovely colour that blue, both on the V6 and indeed the cup.

Could a Cup owner please confirm the colour of your car?

Clio V6 owners hotline tell me the new V6 is Illiad blue (metallic )

I read somewhere the Cup is Mondial blue (pearlesant)

Thanks

Dash,

That is correct, the Cup is Mondial Blue.

Mat.

Dash · Mar 21, 2003

Thanks Mat.

So I guess the V6 blue just looks similar, but more metallic rather than see through?

RobFenn · Mar 21, 2003

Either way it looked f**king stunning at the motorshow!

GR7 · Mar 21, 2003

Illiad blue is the same shade of blue as the Mk1 V6 came in.

RobFenn · Mar 21, 2003

Really? Well the one at the motorshow was very similar to the cup blue if not the same colour.

Jeremy Townsend · Mar 21, 2003

They are close, but different colours

miltage2 · Mar 21, 2003

i saw it at the 2002 motorshow! LUSH!

BenR · Mar 21, 2003

i think those silver side pods mING!

but the front is so much sexier!

KDF · Mar 21, 2003

i am gonna go against the flow here.. i really like the sivler side intakes.. i think it adds definition to the shape of the mk2 V6

Dash · Mar 21, 2003

I am warming to the idea of the silver intakes. Although they will need to get as dirty as the wheels to always match LOL.

I like those carbon fibre ones on the silver V6s, so I guess two totally opposite colours can look OK.

ak_uk · Mar 21, 2003

I think they look stunning in Red, Mk1 or 2 ..

Leigh · Mar 21, 2003

I agree the mars red looks stunning !!

Such a pukka colour !!

paddymph · Mar 21, 2003

yep! i could have sworn the V6 at the show was IDENTICAL in colour to the cup??

teady172 · Mar 21, 2003

Surely you could ask for the side pods to be the same colour as the rest of the car?!

Dash · Mar 21, 2003

Well if Renault history is anything to go by, dont expect to get silver air intakes as standard anyway, or even 255 bhp or upgraded ECUs.

The so called "sorted suspension tweeks" will more than likely be part of a sports option package, that new V6 owners will be chasing for many months to follow.

Renault brochures and press releases have a great habit of not panning out. Isnt that so Cup owners?

Yea, if anyone buys a new V6, it HAS to be in that colour - it really is very very nice.

I know my car is Blue, but seriously - that V6 is very nice. Really suits it!

Tadej clio RS · Mar 22, 2003

That car mut be in BLACK colour!

id never seen one in black!

172man · Mar 22, 2003

i might get one.

paddymph · Mar 22, 2003

think reno need to strike a deal for some Silvervision bulbs!

towser · Mar 22, 2003

I have a picture of the one at the motorshow if someone wants to post it?

sandys · Mar 28, 2003

I have a question about the Mk2 V6, now that TWR have disappeared what is happening to the build of these motors, Dealer seemed clueless?

Cheers

geoff_clio182 · Mar 28, 2003

They are being built by RenaultSport in Dieppe (spelling?) so should have good build quality.

The normal 172s / Cups etc are built in the normal factories as I understand but are just badged RenaultSport. Anyone can correct me if Im wrong!

Jeremy Townsend · Mar 29, 2003

Geoff - youre wrong. All Renaultsport cars are built at Dieppe. Normal Clios are built in a different factory at Flinns. TWR built the previous V6 and were involved in the development of the new V6 but were never going to build it, it was always to be built at Dieppe despite whats happened to them.

paddymph · Mar 29, 2003

so this Dieppe factory does exist!! Sounds like ARea 51 the way some people go on.... and just who are REnaultSport, men in black or something? Whens this V6 out?

Dash · Mar 29, 2003

Printed on the track day invite letter.

"The V6 255 is now available, exclusively through Premier Sales Centres."
