One such fine example is exposed below, and which is by-the-way looking for a new owner in Miami. Now, hold your breath, as the model comes with a price tag of “just” $69,000. At a first glance and before reading out what it has to offer, does it come cheap or is it way too expensive? You will decide at the end.

Of course, such a ride is not for everybody, and only the true connoisseurs in the French carmaker`s past products can really appreciate such an expensive ride.

Anyway, from where I stand, the price is well-justified, as this particular model comes with plenty of modifications received along the years.

First off, this 2003 Renault Clio V6 is a Phase model 1 created by TWR (Tom Walkinson Racing), meaning that it was especially built for track use only. Under the hood, it carries out a massive 3.0-liter with 230 horsepower.

It may not be much, but it may come as an advantage if we also take into consideration that it comes as well with a short wheelbase. The positioning of the engine in the middle also helps the car achieve better handling and driving capabilities in tight corners.

In conclusion, if you live in Miami and love the Renault Clio V6 engine, then you should visit Real Muscle Classics and find full details about the model. I bet you won`t leave without getting your hands on this exquisite model from the French manufacturer!

You can also find a little bit more details with the car in the short media gallery below. Enjoy and don’t forget to share your opinions with us!

Renault Twizy upgraded by Bilstein https://www.carztuning.com/2014/12/renault-twizy-upgraded-bilstein/ https://www.carztuning.com/2014/12/renault-twizy-upgraded-bilstein/#comments Wed, 10 Dec 2014 20:03:43 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=2344 Just because you are a well known aftermarket specialist, it doesn’t mean that you can turn down a project like upgrading a Renault Twizy.

Especially when the person asking for the upgrade is none other than Sir Stirling Moss.

Being created as a simple solution to city navigation, the Renault Twizy doesn’t have that much to show, except for a very quirky design. And that is exactly why it is quite so popular.Even the Dubai Police force got one, dressed it up in their livery and parade it around town.

Returning to the matter at hand, the upgrade to this particular Renault Twizy is slim, but still a good challenge. Sir Stirling Moss simply wanted to improve the handling on the small city car, and Bilstein seemed like the right choice for the job. Apart from the tuner’s involvement, the Renault Twizy also has a very nice hue of green on it and a unique license plate, SM 7.
