Renault Clio Williams voted the top hot hatch ever
I always wanted a Renault Clio Williams, having seen one at the Birmingham Motor Show many many years ago, but never could afford one, let alone the insurance to go with this pocket rocket, named after the Williams F1 Racing Team. This week the folks at Auto Express in the magazine voted for the all time top Hot Hatches and the top 10 are in the extended story.

Quote from the article:
| THE Renault Clio Williams was yesterday named the greatest hot hatch ever. In a survey guaranteed to have boy racers drooling, experts said the 150bhp car - which went from 0-60mph in 7.7 seconds - was rated top for its mix of driving fun, pace, desirability and motorsport pedigree. Produced for just three years from 1992 to 1995, the Clio Williams was launched by Renault after the hot hatch bubble burst in the late 1980s. |
