NEW V6 discuss

Phill1978 · Mar 13, 2006

read in autocar that a reno spokesperson has not ruled out a new V6 and hinted at the 350z for inspiration whatever that means.

could be the reason why its still on the reno website yet the 182 has gone now its been replaced as they are making a new V6.

anyways what would you like to see on a new V6 ???

my choices are..

Mad styling not just a silly arch extender but some really nice bulges
3.5 v6 from nissan
280bhp-300bhp
kerb weight kept under 1500kg (seen as old v6 was around 1450/80kg and based on the old MKII 1110 172, the new one will be based on the MKIII 1210kg platform + v6 + bodykits may tip the scales too much for good PWR to weight.
also like them to sort the handling out so its possible to drift and control the back end better.

any other suggestions ?

300bhp+ NA

Adjustable suspension for road or track.

Perhaps a smaller steering wheel.

White.

Apart from the above I can't really think of anything.

CRAGS · Mar 13, 2006

DOES NOT TAKE A LOT OF BRAINS TO LOOK AT THE FIGURES & PICTURES OF THE CAR. *removed*.0-60 ON PAR WITH THE 182 BUT THEN MAKING IT 7mph SLOWER TOP END.*Removed* .THE 182 WOULD START TO PULL AWAY FROM IT AT AROUND 80mphish.THEN I WOULD BE LOOKING IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR SAYING TO MYSELF WHAT A TOOL EVEN TRYING.182 RULES

Right lets cut the abuse, or ill just remove all of your posts.

Can you turn your Caps Lock off as well please?

Cheers

Weeman · Mar 13, 2006

LOL I wouldn't bet on that till you've actually been against it. 182's are not the fastest cars on the planet you know.

Gareth · Mar 13, 2006

i think people slagging off the new clio sport will be eating their words, it was said about the mk2 and look how many of those were sold. The new clio looks good, it WILL sell and be a success. Shut up.

blink172 · Mar 13, 2006

Never listen to a word Renault say, there wasnt going to be a trophy either.

Dash · Mar 13, 2006

Lets not go off topic eh? The new wee one is a totally different car to the v6 this thread is about.

Gareth · Mar 13, 2006

sorry guys, just bored of people saying the new clio will be a flop. New V6 300BHP yep, some more of the original brave Renault styling (but in the right direction).

I never said slow i said scrap.I have took on a few Golfs and never lost yet.You can edit all you want but i would not consider any of this abusive.and nine times out of ten its down to driving.I would race your Golf anytime anywhere

Weeman · Mar 13, 2006

No thanks not this week, I'm too busy living my life a quater mile at a time.

blink172 · Mar 13, 2006

Just to humour me, what do you drive?

weight at a guess.

just thought seen as this hasnt carried on topic il make a comment. mate of mine had a race against me in a brand new 197 MKIII last week i was in the cup. all the talk of specs and lower speed didnt mean much, it had left me on the twisties after half a mile, grip is better, its less twitchy and handles b roads like its planted. unlike my cup which frankly in comparsion although a thrill ride and more involving is dangerous.

a MKIII will leave a 182 on a track and on the roads not due to speed but due to exellent grip, stability and setup its stable.

jon_r · Mar 13, 2006

I think i might remove this. I've never read so much crap in all my life.

Lagerlout · Mar 13, 2006

And the beat goes on...

Andi-B · Mar 13, 2006

It'd be nice to see a new V6 although I'd wish this time that the turning circle won't be the same as the Titanics

Who knows, they might even stick a turbo in the new one too

Tyson-182 · Mar 13, 2006

WTF is this thread all about? I think it went off topic as from the 3rd or 4th post...

Tyson.

Phill1978 · Mar 13, 2006

there will be another V6 reno are just too mad not too

Macca172 · Mar 13, 2006

V8 Clio would be better, to cope with the extra weight!

I reckon so as well.. just cos its not faster doesnt mean its not better in other respects such as handling

blink172 · Mar 13, 2006

And that the brembos mean you're later into the corners.

® Andy · Mar 13, 2006

I'm not holding my breath for a new V6. Creating a car like the Clio V6 costs a manufacturer lots of money ... and hence they can only justify doing so every once in a while. There's something like 15+ years between the Renault 5 Turbo and the Clio V6 for that very reason.

Sure Renault could do something cheaper involving a V6 and the new Clio ... maybe FWD ... but for it to be a "real" V6 the need to do it properly and that costs!
