You Need This: Renault Clio V6 spec series race car

Start with a fairly benign, front-engine hatchback. Then rip out the original engine, put a larger engine where the back seats normally go and then send all that power to the rear wheels.

Sure, that was the recipe for the legendary Renault 5 Turbo, but it’s also the same recipe for this car for sale, the Renault Clio V6.

More specifically, this Clio V6 was built specifically to race in the Clio V6 Trophy Series over in Europe before being imported into the United States in May 2023.

If it helps, the car is currently wrapped in an old-school Marlboro livery, per the seller:

Interesting car. Too bad there is almost nothing you can race it in except maybe gridlife. So you have an odd ball car that is only good for track days with not much in the way of spares.

I'll wait a year or 2 and get the road version for the same price.
