This car has the newest engine from the PRV family.

I had the opportunity to see this car at my local Volvo/Renault dealership. The engine is mounted in the rear, yet mid-mounted. The engine is quite different from the one in the DeLorean - now, the engine is quite "boxy". Very little work, if any, you can do on that engine. Its very compact. I guess they only allow you to change the oil ;-)

No, there is no "for a set of golfclubs" behind the seats, but the feeling when sitting inside it is very DeLorean like!

Without measuring Im 100% sure that this engine would fit the engine bay of the DeLorean, but I guess you would have to do quite a few mods. I'm pretty sure it would work though.

How about that - 230 HP and 24V!
The Clio car is fitted with a 6 speed gearbox, something that would be fun to have in the DeLorean :-)

The Clio car goes 0-100km/h in 6.4 seconds. The Clio's tires are of course - yes, you guessed it - 235!

I guess you can get even more info on this engine by contacting Renault directly.
