Renault unveiled the most hardcore version of its Megane R.S. already; an edition of the Trophy that spits fire and saw the French hot hatch for the first time cross the barrier of 300 horses.
In terms of hot hatches, the trophy is positively on fire. The most powerful R.S. variant, the Trophy's 1.8-liter turbocharged engine produces 220 kW and 420 Nm – enough to push the hatch from 1419 kg (minimum empty) to 100 km / h in just 5.7 seconds. Seriously fast, then
these outlets are when paired with a six-speed automatic dual clutch gearbox, with numbers that drop slightly to 220kW / 400Nm if you opt for the six-speed manual mode.
All kinds of dark interventions took place (from 205 kW and 390 Nm in the standard Megane RS), with Renault focusing on both the turbocharger configuration and the exhaust design to take advantage of the gains.
The Trophy will ride on the chbadis of the Renault cup, which means that a limited slip differential is a standard kit, while dampers, springs and anti-roll bars are all considerably firmer . The Trophy also gets the four-wheel steering system introduced on the regular R.S. – an active system that turns the rear tires with or against the front tires, depending on how fast you go.
While the full specification is far from being confirmed for Australia, we also know to expect 19 inches, diamond alloys on the outside, while in the cab you will find Recaro seats and Alcantara trims
We will see the trophy locally in the second half of 2019, with prices to be confirmed. But it will not be cheap, landing somewhere north of the sticker price of $ 47,490 from the regular Megane R.S.
