RENAULT MEGANE R.S TROPHY.
The new Renault Megane R.S. Trophy-R has just toppled the Honda Civic Type R as the king of the Green Hell for front wheel drive production cars.
The Trophy-R is a hardcore version of Renault’s hardcore Megane R.S. Trophy.
It uses the same 1.8-litre turbocharged petrol engine found in the normal Trophy.
It achieved a record-breaking 7:40.1 (Type R: 7:43.8) at the ring by going on a diet, maximum weight reduction (up to 130 kg compared to the Megane R.S. Trophy excluding options).
The Renault team also reworked aerodynamics and gave the R more radical development of its drive axles.
The new Megane R.S. Trophy-R will debut on the 24th of May 2019, the Friday before the Formula 1 Grand Prix De Monaco.
