What other cars should we drive from instagram.com/obprestigeauto ?
Oh pleeeeease do the 488 and the pista and the Huayra bc they’re all amazing!!!
2011 Mercedes Benz SLS AMG!!!
Lancia stratos
Also do the SVJ, Agera rs, and 675lt (if they’ll let y’all) but that pista spider tho 👀
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
"What other cars of theirs should we review?"
All of them.
YES. National channels are all well and good, but as a neighboring nation of France (Spain), their cars are very prevalent here. Actually, I want to see cars from as far away as possible! Maybe try and find a Lada, a Seat, whatever!
An older RWD volvo would be pretty cool to see
Do a 958!
Oh your a straight pipes fan? Name every car they have reviewed
A Celica GT4 st-205
Peak pizza delivery machine. Engine keeps them warm. They won't be late either.
Yes greatest idea of today I fully agree 😂😂😂😂
It's pizza time.
- Peter Parker (c.2004)
Also small and easy to park
Dominik good point 😆
Yeah, plus it can burn your ass really quick since there no firewall to protect passengers 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Another good ideas of french low priced engineers 😉🇨🇵🙉🙉
Proud to be poor should be in our national anthem 🙄😭😭
The clio turned canadian judging by the amount of leaves stuck on the radiator
always looks really cool and iconic. I think "auuugh the airflow" every time though. lol
Looks like that old scene from the cars movie when they drove the canyons. Holy childhood
I was thinking the same then I remembered it was a rear engine so those leaves are covering nothing.
It was a superstar car when it came out in France. We knew a neighbor restaurant owner who bought one and it turned more heads than if he had bought the latest Porsche. This is a legendary car. I’m very happy it made it to this channel and you appreciate how special it is.
Now they need to find an original renault 5 turbo or turbo ii, to see where the whole mid engined renault lineage started
@@8bvg300 that would be very cool! In fact there should be a whole collection of legendary French cars, DS, 2cv Sahara, Citroen SM... etc
Renault sport has a lot of History (in Europe)
the front engine Clio sport was one of the best hot hatches ever. so does the Megane RS
this one is kind of a tribute to the crazy R5 Maxi Turbo - a legendary rally car
Renault Sport is legit inhouse tuning arm of Renault with loads of racing history. It's legendary, it has provided some of the best hot hatches all the way back from Renault GT 5 Turbo to Clio and Megane RS. VW Golf GTI could learn a lot from Megane RS belive me.
My all time favourite is the original Clio Williams. 2.0 16v. Gosh. What a vehicle.
@@tabdeboer loved that car when i was a kid. Awesome
Renault Sport Spider = grazy car ( no Windows)
@@edobec2 unfortunately Renault Sport tried to "learn" from VW instead and went backwards. Now the Clio RS is dead and Megane not quite the stand out it was.
"We got one thick ass boi!" Is maybe my favorite quote from this channel
Dayum boi he thicc!! That’s a thicc boi!
Wasn't expecting an Anthony Fantano reference here.
Now we need a Quebec Cliche Corner shirt and sticker lol. So jealous of the import laws of Canada compared to the US.
The service road on the 40 West looping around the St Anne De Bellevue exit
Well, they said that they got it from a dealer in Gatineau, which is right across the river from Ottawa.
They should find a cool road in Gatineau Park. Or maybe a cool road in Ottawa, cause there’s a lot.
I am jealous as well. I'd love to import an A45 hot hatch!
@Financial News yeahhh! you are right Trump is sooooooo much better lololol
Im a car enthusiast, i remember playing with this Cliov6 in Need For Speed Most Wanted
True. It only has 1 good body kit out of 5 though.
Been searching one locally ever since i first played that game. Theres 1 in my country (n-eu)
There’s a couple more hot hatches turned mid-engined super hatches other than the Clio V6 and VW Golf W12. Most of them were built in limited production numbers for homologation purposes in rallying. The Renault 5 Turbo being one of the earliest mid-engines hot hatches that was built for Group 4 rallying. There was also the Peugeot 205 T16, MG Metro 6R4 and Lancia Delta S4, which were built for Group B. Technically speaking they counted as production cars as the rules stipulated you had to build 200 units within a 12 month period, but these were rally cars through and through and were certainly rough around the edges.
MG Metro 6R4 looks cute af though, always been.
None of those Group B cars had anything to do with the road cars, other than they looked similar, everything was different. The 6R4 shared headlights, rear lights and doors with the road car.
@@EugVR6 yeah I know. That’s why Group B cars had to be homologated. That’s why Peugeot, Lancia, Audi and MG all made (up to) 200 road-legal versions of their mid-engined rally cars.
As a French guy, I'm so surprised but happy to see you review this French legend!! I think th face 2 is way more beautiful than the face 1 bit it still looks great. You should try to get a new Alpine A110 and review it's such a great car!!
+1 on the Alpine!
It must have been sold very well to have phrase 2 come out. It would be awesome if Peugeot brings back new 205 T16!
Pareil pour moi.😊
Other mid engined production hatchbacks include Renault 5 turbo and the MG Metro 6R4. You guys glossed over those
To be fair I dont think either of those came to North America and aren’t well known here.
And the 205 turbo 16
@@Bzking23 Yea we don't get most of the cool hot hatches unfortunately. A shame the FCA merge with Renault didn't happen, that was probably the only way we would see any of their hot hatchs over here.
If you know about group B you have to know about the R5 Turbo and the 205 T16 at LEAST !
@ I said that because the 6r4 barely raced, while the R5 Turbo won the Tour de Corse, for example. I was talking in this context
i can't believe someone would have this in Canada!
I'm bringing my Renault Clio 172 ph1 to Canada soon!
2.0 16V?
@@stefanfalldorf6573 yes!
I have one in saudi Arabia and that car is awesome.2003 clio sport 2.0l
What a good choice men
Managed to get it across yet? I love a 172, especially a ph1, hope you brought some spares across with it.
One of my 68 year old "Cool Dad"'s dream cars. He loves the 5 Turbo, so this is the logical next step
Renault makes great fun cars, I own a mk1 Megane 2.0 16V with the 150hp williams engine, its also a great fun car to drive, shares most of the design ideas with the clio you've reviewed as far as interior goes and I can tell you, after driving old renaults pretty much ever since I got my driver's license, the radio controls behind the steering wheel are the best thing ever, takes a little getting used to at first, but after you learn where to put your fingers to do what, its the best way of controlling the radio volume ever
I love this clio v6 more than my megane rs 280 edc...
*I don't care if my 280 edc is faster or got more power than this legendary v6 clio I still love the clio* 😂
I too wish my RS had as much character as this does :(
@@mazenjamal4765 but the pops and bangs are fun enough with those fart gear shifts in the RS ;).
Or the crackles when you downshift if you have the manual :).
Legit one of my Favorite cars on Gran Turismo Sport, I can’t believe this video is real, thank you sooo much
TheStraightPipes: Renault Clio v6
Europeans: proud
Americans: confused pickachu faces
But they're Canadians...
@@James-May America is a continent... as well as he referred to Europeans
@@franco8790 You don't refer to Argentinians as simply Americans do we? Don't try the big brain game here lol
@crummyy Ironic since the original comment was ignorant towards American car knowledge.
We've known about it since at least NFS: Carbon
wow the mid-engine Clio V6, definitely NOT something you see reviewed everyday. 👍
As a French, its not pronounced Renault its Renault
I know what you mean.
Everyone calls it Reno here
Wait.. I thought it was Renault?
Say it with me.
Renault
French from France ?
This makes up for not getting in on the Nissan Micra race series. Good on the Renault Nissan alliance and their resellers.
The connection to an enthusiast dealer is a DougDMoro play to get interesting cars to review, good job !
Except it's a 5hr drive away so not sure how often we'll be doing it! But they were fantastic to work with and have a unique collection
@@TheStraightPipes thats just ur commute to work for the week all rolled into one day haha
@@TheStraightPipes you guys should come to New York to review my 2007 BMW 328i
@@TheStraightPipes if you ever make the trip again I’m in ottawa with an STI Type RA only 75 in Canada if you want to review
2:28 hey that’s me!
Thanks for your kind comments
@Matteo Lorandi You made it Dude!
Yo we both have the same surname, where you from?
@@lucaslorandi5089 lol, Italy, you?

Also, the Renault volume control module on the steering column is brilliant. It’s been used on so many Renault Group cars and you get used to it very quickly. Pull the top to increase volume, pull the bottom for volume down. Roll the rocker switch on the back to change tracks/seek radio stations.
30 years use this same pattern, perfection 👌🏻
So happy to see this epic car being reviewed and lots of great video! 1000x better than anything I've found on TH-cam for the Clio Sport V6. Yes, please, more vintage car reviews.
reminds me of the cosworth so much!
The sound is purely amazing. Go Renault.
ok now this is the last car I expected y'all to review
Quebec French for launch control is "Awaie, vas-y tabarnak"
OMG tu m'as tué 🤣🤣🤣
11:31, believe me, when you have a Renault you know exactly what everything on that stalk does and you miss it in every other car you drive
Wow! So glad you did some euro cars. France doesn't get enough love. New peugeot designs are really nice fyi
It's really a shame we never got any of the Renault models in Canada, the Megane RS is a worthy contender to the Civic Type R or the Golf GTi, even the smaller Clio RS model is a fantastic small car.
Megane Rs 3gen is still to this day a Benchmark for all others hot hatches.
Im from the Netherlands and this car was sold here new, it is such an amazing machine.
My neighbour bought a Phasa II new in 2006 in blue, really spectacular car!
Million plus sub coup, nice! This thing fully tuned in Gran Turismo was potent. Sounds so good IRL!
Haha yeah this lived up to all expectations irl
The forest you're driving through looks great. There's also a cool exhaust harmonic resonance close to redline. You can hear it before each gear change during the launch at 6:44
You should review more European cars
Guys, since the new Giulia GTA is so rare, you should try either a 147 GTA or a 156 GTA. The first is compact hatchback and the second a small sedan both with a legendary v6 stuffed transversally in the front. Despite being GTAs, they were everything but "Alleggerita", and still they become collectable. I think there's a 156 in North America as there was a video on TH-cam!
I was waiting for Clio review for sooo long!!!
I'm French and it's really cool to see a Clio v6 on your youtube channel ... In France it's really a legend I really hope you will test the other French legend like the R5 Turbo, 205 Turbo 16 Serie 200 , Alpine A110 ...!
And that’s what we (European) used to be in the early 2000’s! Damn I miss these crazy inventions
Now this is a car i did NOT expect you guys to cover. This thing is rare enough here in Europe as it is. Cool stuff!
This is the ugliest beautiful car I've ever had the misfortune pleasure of feasting my eyes on 😍
look up the megane RS trophy V6, its way better looking
@@ssllhh100 lol I just reviewed the 2020 RS Trophy, that's a beautiful car
@@CarSauce i will watch your review but the RS trophy V6 is a mid engine race car, they had a street legal concept but they didn't make it
@@ssllhh100 looks sick!
Guys, I live 2 minutes from this dealership! If I knew I would have go for an autograph! Let me know when you are around again because we all know you will come back; Olivier's collection is amazing! Litthe tip: Chemin de La Montagne is the place where you can find your "Québec" cliché corner. Peace out!
Never would have thought to see a Renault on here.
This, along with the mk. IV VW R32, was my favorite car to drive on tight twisty courses in GT4 back in the day. I remember it being very eager to swap ends if it got at all sideways. You guys might have made the first proper road test of this thing I've seen on TH-cam.
Everyone: How much engine can we cram in the backseats of a Clio?
Renault: YES
VW: Hold my W12.
From the opening scene and just seeing the building in the back, I knew you guys were at OB prestige. Welcome to the Outaouais guys... Hope you had a blast ripping around in the hills. There's some amazing roads back there
Can't believe somebody actually called this on Insta.
Like wtf 😂😂😂
Damn that’s impressive
The "regular" FWD i4 RS Models were top of the class too, and just as quick around a track as the V6.
I can think of 3 more mid-engine hatchbacks: Renault 5 Turbo, Peugeot 205 T16 and Lancia Delta S4 Stradale.
I can think of more than that but none of them were made in 'volume' like the phase 1 and 2 Clio V6 though.
Thru the first 11 minutes of the review I was thinking about my reply about it being a hatchback and no box test. Hopes were dashed at approx 12 minutes. Loved the video. Was raised with some quarky car's. My second car was a 76 Mercury Capri ( European ) with a V-6, 4 speed, dual straight pipes with Trush muffler's exiting out the side before the rear wheels. Couldn't sneak in or out, so I just annoyed my small town. Loved your video. Always thought a rear engined R5 would have been a blast and you proved it. Thanks 👍
To say "Launch control" in French, with use the English terms but in a literal translation, it would be "départ controlé"
Translation is the word you're looking for, traduction is French.
We use the term « départ canon », but the literal translation would be « contrôle de lancement »
@@weetikissa That's right, I mixed up the words in head..
@@antoinelaporte7316 ‘depart canon’ is spot-on!
@@antoinelaporte7316 cannon start!
I love the leaves stuck to the grille in the thumbnail, real Canadian touch
Looking forward to that Ferrari F12 review! ❤
Cool that you guys found a way to review a Ferrari finally!
Loved that review! As a Scottish straight-piper I'm glad you guys got your hands on one!!! Now that you have some access to exotics, I'm still looking forward to that LFA review one day... (No, I won't stop asking for it ;) )
There was one for sale in Toronto for like $40k for the longest while, not sure if it sold though. Use to see it kind of often around the High Park area. Different one than this though, didn’t have the decals.
Yup! One of the favorite classic Renault machine
I take this road every day for school, feels so weird to see you guys there. And to answer Yuri, launch control in french is : Départ canon 😂
"Depart canon" sounds amusing in English. French cars should start using that term - who wouldn't want to press a 'depart canon' button?
Love the sound of this v6 3.0 widebody hatchback.
Launch control in french would be something like : "Départ arrêté"
Départ arrêté is from 0 mph to 60 mph by example:
5 secondes départ arrêté.
To say launch control, french people say: "launch control"😅
So clever🙃
I have a sandero with media controls behind the steering wheel, you get use to it. You can change track, volume, answer or ignore calls. Behind the volume buttons, it has a scroll wheel. That’s how you can change tracks or navigate on the radio menus for Bluetooth or iPod
The French make all the best cars
we know how to produce small cars with stupid high economy figures that's for sure.
@ then search for our affordable renault clio 2 1.5dci (diesel) remaped @120hp, it's cheap and great fun !
You guys this is my dream hatchback!! I always loved the insanity of a mounting a V6 engine in a car the size of a shoe! 😁
Straight Pipes - "there's no other car like this one."
Peugeot- "am I a joke to you? do you even watch group b highlights on TH-cam?"
Jesse Hyatt and Renault 5 Turbo? 😁
Peugeot made the 205 t16 as a homologation and it was a mid-engine hatchback, but it was 4wd.
I love driving this car in Forza Horizon 4!
I love these cars. I desperately wanted the phase 2 in liquid yellow that my local dealer had, but it was far too much money. Ended up with a Clio RS197. To this day the most fun car I've ever owned.
Somebody that lives near me has a yellow one but he never drives it
Where did you get this? This is a classic. Now a collector's car. This is a true driver's car . Special built. Nice to see it in Canada. Nice to see Straight Pipes testing it.
Jakub, where in God’s name did you get that super sweet Countach shirt? ❤️❤️❤️
The cammo hoodie is from snatch clothing, 4wd 24-7 channel.
I like the fact that the automated subtitles goes out of its way to call the engine sound music XD

Gotta throw savage geese in there as well

What a crossover, the Straight Pipes and OB Prestige!!
Hye Guys ✌🏼
First of all, thank you for the review of old cars like these.
Now let me tell you the point of view of a French guy i am 🇨🇵
This car, is a total useless project.😤
Yes it is kindda funny, look and concept,✔️
Yes it joined all the rarest Euro/French cars like 205 T16, 405 T16, R5 Turbo, Espace F1 etc etc etc✔️
But actually, all these cars weren't available for customers, or, if they were, it were waaayy too pricy, to buy one of these.❗
You named it,
It's a CLIO, what the hack, a stupid CLIO, modified to receive an engine way too big fir its size
So everything around the chassis is dumb.😤
Engine location,
Engine bay,
Front trunk etc
Nothing has been developed FOR the chassis like could have been another interesting cars.🙄
So, let me be clear,
I am French, i do like our Automotive National Legacy, i do like some of our best Brand of all time, Bugatti, Facel Vega...🇨🇵🙏🏼😍💪🏼
But since 1990/2000,all french cars are crap 100%!😤👊🏼😭
Renault, Peugeot, Dacia, Citroën, every single car is developed for low and poor market so we have a French production which is very low quality... And i 'am definitely against this.❗❗👊🏼👊🏼
And actually this Clio, is one of the best bad conception, the French automotive industry could combine.🙉
Low materials,
Used and rubish engine recycle in a chassis non developed for,
Uncorrect price for the market,
So every decisions in these projects were wrong which lead the Brand to its actual financial statut which every one knows.🙄👏🏼👏🏼
Renault has been 3 times, recovered by French politics, with People money taxes.🤔🤮
So, i can understand overseas this kind of cars look funny, and friendly concept groove, but in another view, it is the perception, of NON suitable product for the market....😤👏🏼
So,
Thank you for the fun, but i don't want this car, even if i played with it in Gran Turismo 3 😎
Only OG knows ✔️👍🏼
Thanks guys
Seeya
By the way,
Launch control, in French is,
" Départ Arrêté",
kindda,
Stopped-Start
And, " Je ne sais quoi..."
that was weird 🙉, maybe you meant
" Je ne sais pas".
Cool review guys! What a car! Never expected you to get the mid-engine Clio!
The headlight looks like they are taken off a supra.
i LOVE this car! so glad you guys are talking about it :D
Mom, I want supra
Mom: We have supra at home
supra at home:
Awesome that you're driving this. They made these for racing to promote the regular Clio and the 1st gen was made by an external racing company that also did the race cars.
Such an awesome car.
Renault sport cars are really popular here in Europe. Nice to see that they get media coverage from the other side of the planet.
Leaves sticking to the front mesh of the car, looked beautiful
Those rolling shot with the color of the trees were perfect
When it comes to Euro hatchbacks that were converted to mid-engine for its hot version that was sold to the public, you missed the real OG! The Peugeot 205 T16. Great video guys!
This is EXACTLY the kind of videos I’ve been waiting for from you guys. Very happy that you found such a great source of cars!
Im so happy you’re in my home town!! I know these roads and i see OB’s garage every day
Renault Clio in Europe between 1995 and early 2000s was a very cool car, together with Peugeot 205 GTI, Fiat Uno Turbo, WV Golf GT and its predecessor, the Renault 5 - Also, all very fast and dangerous to drive.
One of my friends used to drive the Renault Clio Williams (the civilized version of this one) - it was damn fast for that times. If you ever find one in Canada, I suggest 2 European cars: Peugeot 205 GTI and Lancia Delta HF Integrale. Thanks for reviewing this car! Great Job!
You guys should check out the VW Beetle RSi, it is widebody af and is powered by a 3.2l VR6 engine.
Worth a video imo
One day I saw one of those in Mexico City, I love that car......excellent job guys !
OB prestige is the new C&C Motors! Happy with anything you pull from them!
Nice throwback! They used this (on Top Gear) a decade ago to prove the 242km/h makes it the traffic camera' flash, couldn't capture the license plate.
Man I remember drooling over these when they first came out, wanted one so bad! Fast forward many many years and I finally got the spiritual successor, the M140i - 6 cylinder engine in a small hatchback is so much fun! Embarrassed a few M3's as well as the x-drive gives brutal traction off the lights :D
A few notes about the car:
It was made as an homage to the Renault 5 Turbo, which was used in the Group B, with took the same recepie. Originaly was a FF car, and to be most competitive, Renault put an 1.4 Turbo engine in the back that made 160hp.
The original Clio, is a common sight in Europe. You can get a economy one for cheap and parts are even cheaper and available every where. The hot ones are FF with a 2.0 liter and is one of the best handling cars on the starting of the century
The livery is not based on computers, but it is the logo of the Renault Sport logo
Sorry for the long text :)
That’s Awesome to see a Clio on the channel guys🥳😎👍🏻. The only other TH-camr that I could think of owned/drove a Clio was Shmee🤔.
This used to be my favorite car when i was 8. I used to have a wallpaper in my room. The v6 looked like a french McLaren F1. :D
This gets me excited more than any super car review can. Love a good, bonkers hot hatch. Renault makes some of the best of them. Great work guys.
I have a 2002 Clio Sedan also known as Nissan Platina, 4 cylinder 1.6 16v, and the interior is very similar!!, I love that V6
This car was originally imported and worked on by Numero 1 in Quebec City . Cyril does fantastic work. I bought the Yellow decaled one.
Great driving cars... got to watch out for the snap oversteer.
YURI AND JAKUB REVIEWING A CLIO V6?? AM I DREAMING?
visiting @obprestigeauto is always a jaw dropping experience...soooo amazing
I used to absolutely love this car in Gran Turismo! Nice find guys 👍
The best hatchback you guys have reviewed. Fantastic!!!
great visibility for the driver in all directions and no reliance on cameras and sensors.... how times have changed
Renault did a one-off, mid-engined, V6, 320hp, RWD version of the Twingo with a sequential gearbox and an LSD. Called the Twin'Run.
