Renault unveils limited edition Megane Renaultsport Red Bull Racing RB8

The Megane Renaultsport is widely acclaimed by many as the benchmark hot hatch, but on the off chance it isn't quite exclusive enough for some, then Renault has the answer with the launch of a new limited edition - the Megane Renaultsport Red Bull Racing RB8. In fact, exclusivity is virtually guaranteed with a batch of just 30 destined for U.K.

The exclusive Twilight Blue finish takes its inspiration directly from the race team's famous colours, while Red Bull Racing graphics at the rear and on the sides are further tell tale hallmarks of this limited edition car.

In addition to its sporty credentials, it stands out as particularly elegant, too, thanks to exterior Platinum Grey details (F1 blade, door handles, door mirror housing and rear lip spoiler) which contrast with the striking Twilight Blue paintwork. Last but not least, a monochrome laurel on the rear side windows celebrates the team's 2012 Constructors' world title.

Inside, the new limited edition version comes with a number of exclusive features, including Red Bull Racing branding on the numbered aluminium kickplates and carpet mats. The same logo appears on the headrests of the Recaro seats which are trimmed in a new leather/fabric upholstery.

The limited edition version packs the same fundamental features as Megane Renaultsport 265 Cup, including stiffer springs, dampers, anti-roll bar, limited slip differential, grooved discs with Brembo callipers and the potent 2.0-litre turbocharged 265bhp engine with Stop&Start and trademark Renaultsport technologies.

The limited edition Megane Renaultsport Red Bull Racing RB8 will be available until 30^th September 2013 in the U.K.
