I'm not suprised, looks like its doing 200mph standing still!!!.......Fantastic shape!!......I should stop i guess, it's a MINI forum after all.BruceK said:Apparently it goes so fast that yellow paint is forcibly ripped from the bodywork?![]()
You are rightJakx said:Not sure where Basil got that pic from - but it`s not the RenaultSport Clio V6.
It is something or other based on the (lousy looking front, IMO) face-lifted Clio - with a dodgy wing stuck on the back!
Note that there are no (visible) air intakes to feed a mid-mounted engine?
I have it on good authority that it's AWD MID ENGINED.....and as for where i got the picture from....it's a trade secret !!Jakx said:Not sure where Basil got that pic from - but it`s not the RenaultSport Clio V6.

I had a deposit on a V6 for over a year and test drove a few at a special series of events at Chobham early this year.
Trouble is - when I drove it back to back with the Clio 172 it`s hardly that much better. Terrific sense of occasion driving it though and the real thing does sound, and look, b****y fabulous.
Basically it`s an overweight 2 seat Clio, with a mid-engine that can`t muster enough grunt and like baldie says is over-keen to swap ends.
I still look forward to seeing one on the road.

But basil..seriously that ain't a Renaultsport Clio V6. I have seen one in the flesh and it looks nothing like it.
Even if it is an AWD MID ENGINED Clio, it isn't the Renaultsport Clio V6. It must be some sort of hybrid that someones built themselves![]()
