New car features.

The Megane R.S. is a high-performance car from Renault Sport ("R.S." is its abbreviation), the sporting part of Renault Motor. The division's products also include the Mégane R.S. Red Bull Racing RB 8, which was launched in association with the Red Bull F1 team in a limited edition of 500 units. At the same time, the Megane R.S. has a very distinguished relative, the R.S. 275 Trophy-R, which set a new record for the fastest front-drive car in New York in 7 minutes 54 seconds 36 seconds.

In terms of appearance, the front of the Megane R.S. adopts Renault's latest family style design with full personality. The black high-gloss recent grille with smoked headlights and LED daytime running lights at the fog light grille make it look very sporty and recognizable.

On the side, the classic three-door design of Megane R.S. with 18-inch black wheels further emphasizes its sporty temperament. At the same time, Brembo red brake calipers also vaguely stimulate people's nerves. The rear design of the Megane R.S. is also classic, with a mid-mounted single-exit exhaust, a large rear spoiler, and three-dimensional taillights, making it unforgettable. At the same time, the R.S. logo on the rear of the car also wants to tell you that it is different.

The interior of the Megane R.S. has a neatly shaped center console, richly equipped with red accents to enhance the visual effect, and the Recaro bucket sports seats are the most attractive part of the Megane R.S. The red seat belts further add to the fighting atmosphere inside the car.

The Megane R.S. is powered by a 2.0 L turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 265 hp (195 kW)/5500 rpm and a maximum torque of 360 Nm/4500 rpm, which is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. According to the manufacturer's information, the Megane R.S. accelerates from zero to 100km/h in 6 seconds and can reach a top speed of 254 km/h. The car is also equipped with Renault's "R.S. Dynamic Management System". In the "Normal" mode, the maximum power output of the engine is 250 hp, and when the "Sport" mode is selected, it can reach a maximum of 265 hp.

In addition, Renault has prepared two chassis options for the Megane R.S.: Sport and Cup Chassis, with the "Cup Chassis" equipped with a limited-slip differential and high-performance damping system. The front suspension with an independent steering axle, by completely separating the steering system from the suspension system, theoretically allows the driver's control of the steering system not to be affected by road conditions. As for the suspension structure, it is the type of front MacPherson independent suspension + rear torsion beam non-independent suspension.

Competitors

From the international market, the most direct competitors of the Megane R.S. are the Focus RS and the Golf R. However, the Focus RS has not been officially introduced in China, and the new generation of the model is being launched overseas, and the Golf R is currently in the replacement period of the old and new products. The timing is right.

In addition to the Focus RS and Golf R, the BMW 125i and Mercedes A 260 are also strong competitors for the Megane R.S. from a price point of view. Although they may not be as eye-catching as the Megane R.S. in terms of power figures, the brand awareness of Mercedes-Benz and BMW is far better than that of Renault, and this is a fact that must be acknowledged.

Summary

The Megane R.S. has a beautiful and individual appearance, a sporty interior, and powerful power, and the manual transmission is also a highlight. Throughout the domestic "small steel gun" market, there are a few models with strong power, but only a few models that can provide manual gears, such as the Fiesta ST and Focus ST, are available. It is destined to be a toy for a few, and if that includes you, then hurry up and place your order.
