Little Tiny 3L Engine Car (not gas milage)

["Peter Walsh" <cerksies@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>This is from a mag. called EVO that I got a few months back, but here 
goes....

Renaut has a car called the Clio (small eco box Lupo or golf sized), and 
they made a 3 Litre Clio, the only thing was this 3L Clio had a 3L 24v V6 
Stuffed in the back seats driving the rear wheels.  Check this Porsche 
Acceleration (well, non turbo porsche :-) ).

Rumor has it, VW got wind of this project and they intreprited the 3L Clio 
as an extremly fuel efficiant clio, so they started out on their 3L Lupo 
:-).  What do you think would have happened if they actually heard the 
truth??? eh? 4Motion VR6 Lupo/|Polo???????
