In 1993, Renault launched the Clio
Williams as a limited edition of 3,800 cars (1,300 more than they
needed for homologation purposes) with each car bearing a numbered
plaque on the dash. These sold out so quickly that Renault ended up
building 1,600 more
The car was named after the then Renault-powered Formula One team
WilliamsF1, though Williams had nothing to do with the design or
engineering of this Clio. The modifications to the Clio 16S on which
it was based were the work of Renault Sport, Renault's motorsport
division. Nevertheless, this car had a Formula One link by being the
sport's Safety Car in 1996.
