More than a set of wheels.
Renault introduced the Clio Williams in 1993, naming it after the Williams-Renault Formula One partnership while developing the road car through Renault Sport. The launch version combined a 2.0-litre F7R engine with a strengthened, widened chassis and its famous Sport Blue and gold-wheel appearance. The original 1993 cars were numbered before later Williams 2 and Williams 3 versions followed.
Look a little closer.

Compared with the earlier 1.8-litre Clio 16S, the 2.0-litre F7R added torque as well as a 150-PS headline. In a light hatchback, that broader shove is as useful as peak power.
