It's been a summer to remember and it's just about to get even hotter with the arrival of the Renault Megane RS!
Performance car enthusiasts can look forward to even greater performance and more dynamic design, as the New Renault Megane R.S Trophy boosts the Renault Sport line up by extending the family of Trophy versions produced since the first generation of Megane R.S.
New Megane R.S. Trophy debuts a brand new version of the 1.8 litre turbo engine, delivering increased power output of 300hp - the first time a R.S model has produced this level of power - and torque of 420Nm (with EDC gearbox). The significant rise in power is largely thanks to the use of pioneering technologies, especially for the turbocharger and exhaust system, which again are firsts in the new Megane R.S. Trophy, including the ability to alter the engine note. This new engine can be combined with a six-speed manual or six-speed EDC (Efficient dual-clutch) gearbox.
Togther with the new power unit, a host of additional performance-focused features differentiate the Renault Megane R.S. Trophy from the standard Megane R.S.
Featuring Renault Sport's latest innovations in chassis and suspension systems, including the 4CONTROL four-wheel steering system and four hydraulic bump stop shock absorbers, New Mégane R.S. Trophy also comes as standard with the Cup chassis, which boasts stiffer suspension and a Torsen® mechanical limited slip differential. This version is equally enhanced by bi-material front brake discs, specific 19-inch wheels and very high-performance Bridgestone tyres, which can be paired with new, exclusive lighter wheels.
