New Clio V6



  Clio Dci 86


Having gone into my local Renault garage less than 2 weeks ago and been told there would be no new Clio V6 imagine my surprise to read about the new version in this weeks Autocar!

Power up by 30bhp to 260bhp, redisgned headlamps,revised 6 box gear ratios, suspension changes and 18" wheels thrown in for good measure(not sure what the mark one size wheels were?) with no change to the price.

Might be tempted to put an order in now, but not at my local branch!
 


i reckon i ight have seen a LHD one already on the M4 a few weeks ago, it sertainly had large wheels on it,

i have heard froma guy who did some the safety testing that its vastly improved handeling over the Mk1
 


power from the V6 lump is easy.
The trophy racers get 185 bhp from limited mods NOT including porting. Basicly cams, valves, pistons etc. You can buy the part from renault sport, but dunno if you have to prove your racing or not.

I think there was a typo on Bens original post, I assume he meant 285 and NOT 185 bhp as this is what he has written in the spec post ?
 


oh well, im workin on a few customers V6s as they say there far too slow.
So the engine will hopefully be making 280bhp then have 50-75bhp N20 kits added.
 


ive seen the new v6 in the flesh. about two months ago driving back from oxford to glos, 2 v6s went past me. in front was the new one(not even disguised!!!) followed the old version. looked mean as hell!
