New Renault Megane RS
The RS 300 Trophy marks 18 years of the Megane RS line-up, with the new Trophy offering several enhanced Renault Sport features, including a distinctive Sport front bumper with an F1 Style blade flanked by the Trophy insignia, sharkfin antenna, updated C-shaped LED headlights and rear lights, a specific rear diffuser, an intelligent exhaust pipe with dual sound valve system and Jerez Diamond Cut 19-inch alloy wheels with red inserts.
Inside, the Alcantara seats boast racy red topstitching and leather for the double-diamond steering wheel.
Jerez Diamond Cut 19-inch alloy wheels
Under the bonnet, a dual-clutch EDC gearbox, mated with a 4-cylinder 1,8-litre high-performance turbo engine, enables the power output of 221 kW at 6 000 r/min, with 420 NM torque at 3 200 r/min. Renault also claims top speed at 260 km/h, with 0 to 100 km/h reached in 5,7 seconds.
Megane RS interior
Stopping power is provided by bi-material front brakes with distinct red Brembo callipers, while the Cup chassis boasts stiffer suspension with a Torsen mechanical limited-slip differential.
At low speeds, the 4Control system turns the rear wheels in the opposite direction to the front wheels. At speeds of over 60 km/h (100 km/h in Race mode), all four wheels turn in the same direction, ensuring optimised road-holding.
Megane RS Trophy model
Additional onboard equipment includes dual-zone climate control, cruise control with speed limiter, Renault hands-free card and automatic lights and wipers.
The New Megane RS Trophy model comes standard with a 5-year/ 90 000 km Service Plan, a 5-year/150 000 km mechanical warranty and a 6-year anti-corrosion warranty. Services take place at 10 000 km intervals.
