New Clio V6, motoring passion and driving enjoyment
• With its two-seat layout and V6 engine transversely installed in the mid-rear position, New Clio V6 is an exclusive sporting car.
• With its unique design, New Clio V6 presents an incisive front-end appearance and adopts the styling approach of the latest-generation Clio: the bumper, front grille, bonnet and twin-unit xenon discharge headlamps are entirely new. The front wings accommodate 18-inch tyres carried on OZ 'Superturismo' rims. The twin chromed exhaust pipes and the air intakes wîth their large-mesh grille covers add to the sporting appearance. The design is notable for its flowing lines wîth a more favourable CdA.
• The elegant and dynamic design of the new soft-feel dashboard, the leather-trimmed §teering wheel wîth thumbrests, the aluminium finish of the gear lever knob and pedals, and the new kickplates carrying the Renault Sport insignia, create a sporting atmosphere inside New Clio V6. New Clio V6 is equipped wîth many features: a combined rain and light level sensor, regulated air conditioning wîth a digital display, and a top-range 4x40W audio system wîth a single CD unit in the dashboard and a 6-CD changer beneath the driver's seat.
• Powered by a 3.0 V6 24V engine developing 255bhp (187kW) at 7,150rpm and a torque of 300Nm at 4,650rpm, New Clio V6 reaches 100km/hour from rest in 5.8 seconds. The upper part of the engine, from the air filter intake to the combustion chamber, is new:
- a special air filter wîth a volume of 11.5 litres, wîth a filter element allowing greater through-flow
- motorised throttle valve wîth 74mm throat diameter, increasing intake area by 40%
- new aluminium plenum chamber wîth integral trumpets and short-duct manifold.
- camshafts wîth more pronounced valve timing and greater valve lift. The inlet camshaft timing variators are retained.
- fuel supply arrangements have been upgraded wîth a new divided injection ramp and injectors wîth an almost 50% greater flow rate.
Thanks to the adoption of new catalytic converters, the IF Euro4 emissions standard is achieved while keeping back-pressure and noise at the best possible levels. The 'PK6' 6-speed 3-shaft gearbox wîth a ratio range of 4.07 and low final drive (16/67) results in 10% lower overall gearing and improved response and acceleration. The internal gear ratios are more closely spaced wîth new first and second gears providing higher speeds per 1,000rpm (1.3 and 0.15km/hour respectively) while third gear is lower (by 0.48km/hour per 1,000rpm).
Thanks to the new kinematics of the rear suspension and increased spring stiffness, the chassis combines stability under power, low sensitivity during acceleration and braking, and well-controlled body movement wîth an optimum distribution of roll stiffness. Straight-line stability is enhanced by the 23mm increase in wheelbase, by aerodynamic improvements and by a more positive §teering feel around the centre-point. New Clio V6 is equipped wîth Michelin Pilot Sport tyres (18-inch, wîth 205/40 section at the front and 245/40 at the rear), exploiting the concept of the 'Variable Contact Patch' (VCP) which arose directly from the design of tyres for Formula 1.
• New Clio V6 is provided wîth a complete line of active safety and occupant protection features: ABS, twin adaptive front airbags combined wîth safety belts incorporating load limiters and pretensioners, and head-thorax side airbags.
• By offering a wide range of special colours, materials and features, Renault Sport now enables connoisseurs to personalize their new Clio V6.Source - Renault

| Bahrain Gp - A Cursed Sunday | |
 | Stefano Domenicali: 'This is definitely not the outcome we expected after showing all weekend long that we were capable of fighting for the top places. Today's result needs to be put behind us in a hurry, although there is a feeling of great disappointment that we were unable to bring home the hoped for result. Despite his problem with the DRS, Fernando produced a blistering drive, pulling off overtaking moves and setting lap times that were absolutely incredible. Felipe's race was also v...[Read more...] |
| Another Race, Another Winner, Another Packed Day In The Paddock | |
 | Pretty much the whole of F1 agreed that Maldonado's pole and win was a fitting tribute to his team owner Sir Frank Williams who is 70 this week. However, a fire in the team garage as the Paddock packed down took away some of the shine from their deserved celebrations. As well as a great drive by Maldonado, who battled to keep Alonso off his rear wing all afternoon, this again played out as a great racing spectacle: including Michael Schumacher colliding with Bruno Senna right in the path of ...[Read more...] |
| Formula One - Spanish Grand Prix | |
 | Kimi Raikkonen bagged his second podium on the trot in Barcelona, charging hard to finish third behind first time grand prix winner Pastor Maldonado and, by just half a second, Fernando Alonso. The Finn was disappointed not to finish on the top step, though, claiming that the Lotus E20 had the potential to have won every race this year so far. Nevertheless, he is now fourth in the Drivers' Championship, just 12 points behind leaders Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso. Starting on the sec...[Read more...] |
| Alonso pleased with Mugello testing: 'I am confident' | |
 | Scarperia, 3 May – A further 500 kilometres for the F2012, which reached the 250 lap threshold, equivalent to over 1300 kilometres during the course of the past three days at the Mugello Circuit. After rain on Tuesday came the second difficulty of the test, in the form of an off-track excursion for Fernando Alonso around mid morning. He went off at Turn 12, doing some damage to the front left corner of the car and the front wing, but more significantly, the incident cost two and a half ho...[Read more...] |
| INDYCAR – LONG BEACH GRAND PRIX | |
| A tough weekend for the Lotus-engined teams in California. Having been sidelined for much of practice and qualifying due to bad weather and a water pump issue, Lotus HVM's Simona di Silvestro suffered an engine failure 11 laps from the end of the 85 lap race, demoting her to 20th. Lotus Team Barracuda BHA's Alex Tagliani, who qualified tenth, struggled during the race and was also hit by EJ Viso, forcing him to pit for a new front wing. Ultimately, he retired and registered 21st place. Lotus Dra...[Read more...] | |
