Hagerty’s Death Eaters: R5 T2 & Phase 1 #408 (V66CLO) being put through their paces in the US

The Death Eaters, Chapter 3: Renault R5 Turbo and Clio V6

"For the latest installment in Hagerty’s Death Eaters, we’re looking at two Gallic landmarks: The 1983–1986 Renault R5 Turbo 2, and the 2001–2003 Renault Clio V6. Each was an expensive and limited-production car, and neither was officially sold here."

Interesting article by Hagerty USA. Was surprised to see that [v6plaque]408[/v6plaque] was exported to the US in 2012, but that it still wears its UK plate (the rear is partially covered by a Tennessee plate), and appears to be well and truly put through its paces, alongside an R5 Turbo 2.

From the V6 Registry:
"Exported to America July 2012. On display at Lane Motor Museum Tennessee.
Black side pods & tinted rear lights.
"

...still sports black side pods but the rear lights have been changed to those from the Phase 2.
 
'No cones where hurt in the making of this article' :)

They gave that car a good spanking!

This same car was filmed by Doug DeMuro at a similar time, will be going on his youtube channel at some point.

Crazy [v6plaque]408[/v6plaque] has been in the US for nearly a decade!
