Description
This lot will be auctioned via Classic Car Auctions, The Classic Car Sale at Stoneleigh Park 2024 on Saturday the 28th of September, Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, CV8 2LG.
A spin-off from the 1998 ‘Clio Trophy’ race series, the Clio V6 230 was the spiritual successor to the mid-engined 5-Turbo
Launched in 2001, the wide-hipped ‘baby supercar' was based on the Clio Mk II but shared very little with its standard counterpart
Where the rear seats would normally be, nestled a tweaked version of the 3-litre, 24v, V6 unit from the Laguna saloon offering 227bhp fed to the rear wheels and enabling 0-60 in 6. 2 seconds and 146mph
This is one of only 256 Phase 1 cars supplied to the UK-market when new
Upgrades from a standard Phase 1 include; original Trophy cup wheels(very rare), Yokohama tyres, KW V3 shocks with upgraded top mounts, front splitter, Trophy Cup rear spoiler, bespoke exhaust, RenaultSport steering wheel, bucket seats, TRS harnesses, Lifeline plumbed-in fire extinguisher and the car is wrapped in period Trophy-style livery
Recent servicing by SG Motorsport with the major cambelt service being carried out in August 2022
Overall a very well sorted, useable Clio V6 which sounds amazing
