  • New Megane RS is packed full of Renault Sport expertise and passion

    Just like its predecessors, the new third generation Megane RS is aiming to become a benchmark in the hot hatch market.


    The new Megane RS is packed full of Renault Sport expertise and passion. Driven by Renault's powerful design and focused on performance, it makes no attempt to hide its motorsport pedigree, offering outstanding driving pleasure on the road and on the track.

    It's not pretty but the engine, which delivers 276bhp and 390Nm of torque, is the world's most powerful 1.8-litre

    For example, its unique-in-class 4Control four-wheel steering system ensures stability at high speeds and agility at low speeds.

    At high speeds, the front and rear wheels turn in the same direction, limited to a one-degree angle for the rear wheels and at low speeds, the front and rear wheels turn in opposite directions up to a maximum angle of 2.7 degrees.

    At the same time, it packs the world's most powerful 1.8-litre engine, which delivers 276bhp and 390Nm of torque thanks to the development work jointly carried out by engineers from Renault Sport Cars and Renault Sport Racing.

    The option of an Efficient Dual Clutch gearbox is also available for the first time, alongside a manual transmission.

    Two types of chassis are available: Sport or Cup. The Sport chassis provides easy sporty driving, with best-in-class efficiency, whilst the Cup chassis offers greater sports performance for track and fast road use.
