Page 1 of 2 Next >> Renault Sport vowed it would be done, and the sportiest Mégane has duly added a third lap record round the Nürburgring's legendary Nordschleife to its impressive list of achievements. The feat was accomplished by an all-new limited-edition model imbued with a radical philosophy: Mégane R.S. 275 Trophy-R.
Mégane R.S. 275 Trophy-R is a two-seater derivative of the recently-introduced Mégane R.S. 275 Trophy. This exclusive new Renault Sport limited-edition benefits from ultra-sporty features inherited from the brand's racing activities, while a loss of almost 100 kilograms has resulted in enhanced performance. Mégane R.S. 275 Trophy-R comes as standard with the Cup chassis (complete with limited-slip differential), the 2.0-litre petrol R.S. engine boosted to 275bhp, a titanium Akrapovic exhaust system, 'Ohlins Road&Track' one-way adjustable dampers with composite springs and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres that are specifically-adapted to the car. Whilst Mégane R.S. 275 Trophy-R manages without rear seats, in the front can be found Recaro Pole Position polycarbonate monocoque seats, which yield a weight saving of 42 kilograms. These are fitted with a three-point seat belt, but a six-point harness with aviation-style buckle is available as an accessory. A retention beam and safety nets protect passengers from moving luggage. For track-day fans eager to gain several vital seconds over the course of a lap, the use of a lithium-ion battery trims the overall weight by another 16 kilograms. To ensure high-performance braking whilst at the same time contributing to the weight-shedding effort, Mégane R.S. 275 Trophy-R benefits from a special braking kit. Its 350/28-diameter steel and aluminium discs bring the car's weight down by a further three kilograms. Ideally adapted to intensive circuit use, these Renault Sport-etched brakes endow the vehicle with a sharper bite. Page 1 of 2 Next >> |
