New Mégane R.S. is powered by a new-generation 2-litre 16-valve turbocharged petrol engine which boasts maximum power of 250hp (184kW) at 5,500rpm and peak torque of 340Nm from 3,000rpm. Work has also gone into the acoustics of the Renault Sport 2.0 T engine to produce a telltale sporty pitch audible inside the cabin under acceleration.
 
New Mégane R.S. is available with a choice of two chassis: the 'Sport' chassis or the 'Cup' chassis, which comes with a limited slip differential for even greater traction and benefits from undeniably sporty looks.

Launched in 2004, 21 000 Mégane Renault Sport was sold in 30 countries… Mégane F1 Team R26 and Mégane R26.R were voted 'Sporting Car of the Year' in France in 2007 and 2008 respectively.

Eclusive series remains with Mégane F1 Team R26 "Echappement", launched after the vote in Echappement magazine, and Mégane R26.R which set the track-record for its category round the legendary Nürburgring in 8’ 17’’.
