Renault Clio V6 Phase 1 2001

History of the brand and model

Renault, founded in 1899, has always been at the forefront of the automotive world. The brand is known for its innovative designs and passion for motorsport. In the 1980s, Renault took a bold step with the Renault 5 Turbo, a compact hatchback with a mid-engine layout. Years later, the brand revisited this concept, leading to the birth of the Renault Clio V6.

Launched in 2001, the Clio V6 was the ultimate interpretation of the hot hatch, designed with one goal: pure excitement behind the wheel. Renault collaborated with Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) to develop this extraordinary car. The first generation, also known as Phase 1, was hand-built in Sweden and is now a rare collector's item. Only 1, 519 units of this Phase 1 model were produced, including our example, number 441.
