Flying the flag for its motorsport success, the hottest Mégane has been revised to pay tribute. But the big news is the introduction of a limited-slip differential, and the results are impressive. The system makes a huge difference to the car's dynamicsAlthough past Renaultsport Méganes have always offered strong performance, they have never been able to match the class leaders in terms of ride and handling. But Renault is hoping to change that with the launch of its latest hot hatch flagship.According to the firm, the lengthily-named Renaultsport Mégane 230 F1 Team R26 is the most potent and driver-focused version yet. It's based on the Cup model, and the styling tweaks make the most of the Mégane's sharp lines, while the 18-inch anthracite alloys and matching door mirrors finish the look. Stickers on the bumpers, door and roof are a no-cost option.But the big news is the introduction of a limited-slip differential, and the results are impressive. The system makes a huge difference to the car's dynamics - engine power is transferred to the road in a more consistent and predictable manner, and there's none of the torque steer that plagued the R26's predecessor. It's more comfortable, too.The improvement is most noticeable on twisting roads. Where the previous car would lose power through wheelspin, the new model is much more composed. It turns in precisely and corners well, but while the steering is responsive, it still lacks feel. As a result, the driving experience is not as involving as that of rivals such as the VW Golf GTI. The Renault's 2.0-litre turbocharged powerplant has been boosted to 227bhp, but it's the low-down torque which is most impressive. Throttle response is instant, and there is virtually no turbo lag. At £19,570, the F1 R26 is £900 more than the 225 Cup, which is still available. But unlike the previous F1 model, there will be no limit on the number of orders taken between now and next summer - and it's certainly worth the extra money. This Mégane is a much more polished hot hatch - but still delivers intoxicating performance.

The limited-slip diff makes a huge difference, while the ride is more comfortable. Renault’s tweaks have made the Mégane a genuine hot hatch contender. AT A GLANCE The F1 R26’s engine has been uprated to provide 227bhp, up 5bhp on its predecessor, and 90 per cent of its torque is available from 2,000rpm.

Contents 1 Mégane II Renaultsport 1.1 Engine and performance 1.2 Equipment 1.3 Renaultsport 225 (2004-) 1.4 Renaultsport 225 Cup (2005-) 1.5 Renaultsport 230 Renault F1 Team R26 (2006-) 1.6 Renaultsport dCi 175 (2007-) 1.7 Renaultsport 230 Renault F1 Team R26.R (2009-) 1.8 Safety 1.9 Renault Sport Mégane Trophy 1.10 Engines 1.10.1 Road models 1.10.2 Race models 2 Mégane III Renaultsport 2.1 Mégane Renaultsport 250 (2009-) 2.2 Engines 3 References 4 External links [edit] Mégane II Renaultsport It is based on the Renault Mégane II small family car. The Mégane RS is available in three-door and five-door hatchback versions, both with the same engine and it is built in Renault's Dieppe factory, which is where most of their special and race cars are made (like the Clio V6, 5 Turbo, Spyder and Alpine A610 / A110). The Mégane Renault Sport 225 uses innovative double-axis strut suspension with independent steering axis at the front, with electric power steering that reduces its influence as speeds increase. [edit] Engine and performance It uses a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine that produces 225 PS (165 kW; 222 bhp), allowing the car to achieve 0-100 km/h in 6.5 s (0-60 mph in 6.3 s), with a top speed of about 240 km/h (149 mph). Ninety percent of the engine's torque is available from 2000 rpm until redline. A super-light twin-scroll turbo minimizes turbo lag, and when throttle is applied at anything over 2000 rpm there is almost no discernible lag. The transmission is a six-speed manual. Renault's claimed combined economy is 8.8 L/100 km (32 mpg-imp; 27 mpg-US), and real-world highway driving will see approximately 7.0 L/100 km (40 mpg-imp; 34 mpg-US), which is unusually efficient for a car this powerful. In a 2004 road test by Mexican car magazine Automóvil Panamericano, the car was proven to reach 247 bhp (184 kW; 250 PS) from its powerplant. [edit] Equipment Because of its apparent willingness to go ever faster, the Mégane Renault Sport has a speed-limiter, which prevents the car from passing a user-determined speed. It can be disabled or recalled with a button-press, and is set in the same way as the cruise control. The Mégane RS is equipped with leather/cloth seats, seat belts with red stitching, 17-inch alloy wheels, eight airbags and xenon headlights with headlight washers. It also has Brembo brake discs that are similar to the ones used in Porsches. The base Mégane Sport has Brembos on the front only, the F1 has them on all four wheels.
