Beschreibung
First registered in November 2004, UK car #227 is an impressive Titanium Silver (1 of 37 UK cars) example which has covered 28, 000 miles from new and benefits from a comprehensive service history split between main dealer and specialist.
Previously supplied by us, the car benefited from a recommissioning service in 2020 at SG Motorsport followed by a cambelt service the following year at the end of 2021. The car presents in incredible condition and benefits from a mountain of supporting documentation and invoices detailing its history.
With only 2, 822 V6 cars ever produced globally (1513 units Phase I and 1309 units Phase II) between 2001-2005; it is unlikely we ever see a mid-engined, rear wheel drive hot hatchback produced again. The naturally aspirated 3 litre V6 is also a dying breed with most modern day performance hatches favouring 1. 4-2litre turbocharged configurations.
The styling is a huge part of this cars character. With its wide arches, low stance and large side air intakes all taken directly from the Clio V6 Trophy car which preceded it create a truly imposing road presence.
You don’t appreciate what an incredible driver’s car the V6 is until you get it onto a B-road. The ride is firm yet pliable and steering is refreshingly analogue versus modern day exotica but still very communicative and responsive. Then you step on the throttle and hear the remarkably smooth sound of the 3 litre V6 coming to life in an extremely linear way. Gear changes are seamless through the 6 speed manual with great torque at the lower end of the rev range.
