Renault Megane RS F1 Team
Renault celebrates its F1 titel with a special version of the Megane RS. The car has the same 225 hp engine as a standard RS, but it has a special sport suspension. It also has a special blue interior. The car has also black rims and some stickers that of course refere to the F1 Team.

You don't think 225 bhp on the front wheels is sufficient? This car got top marks in EVO's COTY contest.

Now that I didn't know. But they've already got the normal RS with the same power. I know the suspension has been uprated but surely more could have been done.

Better isn't all about power

More power can make you go backwards sometimes as it can make the car MORE difficult to drive fast - outside of a straight line drag strip

Didnt they do the same with the Clio 182? All they did with the final version was to upgrade the suspension (more expensive brushes or summin...sorry my info is limited) but the car was said to be transformed.

Doesn’t sound like much, but it turns what was already a car capable of shaming much more expensive machinery over most roads into something otherworldly. I have never driven a car like it. There are faster hot hatches, and some have more exceptional abilities in specific areas, but none adheres to the basic premise of what a hot hatch should do, nor the type of driving experience one should offer like this car.
Theres some unbelievable praising in the article, if only we could try it for ourselves!!

It was the Clio 182 Trophy that acheived the best marks in the COTY awards. The Megane didn't do quite aswell, though it certainly didn't disgrace itself.

Yeah the Clio did better, but there were not many other family cars in the line-up.
