History
Renault showed the Clio Renault Sport V6 24V concept at the 1998 Paris Motor Show and ordered a development and production study from TWR. The road car was launched in 2000, with the engine derived from the Laguna V6. TWR built every Phase 1 car in Sweden, at 12 cars a day, with development led by Renault Sport. Phase 2 cars, built by Renault Sport in Dieppe, raised power from 227 to 252 bhp.
