The Renault Clio Maxi was developed under FIA F2 Kit Car regulations in the mid-to-late 1990s as a front-wheel-drive asphalt specialist. Based on the Clio Williams chassis, the Maxi variant took everything to the extreme — wide-body stance, a screaming naturally aspirated engine, and rally-specific aerodynamics. It was purpose-built to attack tight tarmac stages in national and European championships, often going toe-to-toe with Peugeot’s 306 Maxi and Citroën’s Xsara Kit Car.
The Clio Maxi was finely tuned for twisty tarmac stages, boasting a screaming high-rev motor, long-travel asphalt suspension, and custom wide-track geometry that delivered immense grip and cornering speed.
The car’s aggressive throttle response and surgical handling helped it become a crowd-pleaser and a true challenge for even AWD WRC machines on twisty tarmac roads.
The Clio Maxi was famously demanding yet rewarding. It required drivers to stay in the high rev range, manage traction carefully, and commit through corners. With its precise steering and punchy power delivery, it excelled in switchbacks and technical hill stages — a true weapon for specialist tarmac pilots.
