Renault Clio V6 Phase 1
One of the most extreme hot hatch concepts ever realised in production form. The Clio V6 used a mid-mounted 3.0-litre V6 engine in a widened Clio body, removing the rear seats and replacing them with a 227-hp powerplant. Developed by Tom Walkinshaw Racing, it was genuinely supercar-quick in a hatchback wrapper.
