Which Renault Sport Clio used a mid-mounted V6 engine?

What does the R.S. badge mean on a Renault?
R.S. identifies models developed by Renault Sport, such as the Clio R.S. and Megane R.S. These cars typically received substantial changes to their engines, brakes, suspension, steering, seats, and bodywork rather than a cosmetic trim package alone.
