Renault launches a new MEGANE R.S. TROPHY :: News :: Auto News

The new MGANE RS TROPHY comes with a new version of the 1.8-liter turbo engine, offering increased power of 300 hp and 420 Nm of torque, largely thanks to the use of pioneering technologies , especially for the turbocharger and the exhaust system. This engine can be combined with a manual gearbox with dual clutch or EDC.

Showcasing Renault Sport's latest innovations in suspension and suspension, including the 4CONTROL steering system and the new four-shock-damping system, the new MGANE RS TROPHY is also available in series with the Cup Cup, which is equipped with a rigid suspension and a mechanically limited Torsen® differential. This version is also enhanced with bi-material frn, 19 "wheels and Bridgestone high performance tires that can be combined with new, lighter and more exclusive wheels, and for the best indoor experience, the new MGANE RS TROPHY can be outfitted with a new generation of Recaro chairs with Alcantara® tapestry

Interfacing with the expectations of lovers in search of exclusivity, the TROPHY version is perfectly suited for use daily, offering all the features of Mgane RS, in particular:

– Ability to select different driving modes using the Multi-Sense system
– Outstanding Lighting Performance, R.S. Vision
– RS telemetry and data collection system The very first MGANE RS engine

the 1.8-liter direct injection turbo engine derived from the Renault-Nissan Alliance, is equipped with a level that allows it to pass for the first time the symbol of 300 hp (220 kW) The torque has also been increased to 420 Nm (+ 20 Nm) on the EDC version and 400 Nm.

The increased power offers better acceleration, including a high rpm, while the couple – one of the best in the class – contributes to the pleasure of driving and driving comfort. This improved performance is clearly in line with the new Euro6d-Temp emission control standard, effective 1 September 2018.

To offset the substantial increase in exhaust gas pressure, with the addition of a particulate filter, engine specialists have focused on the efficiency of the turbocharger by applying a technology directly from the Formula 1.

The turbine – which turns to near 200,000 rpm – is now mounted on a ceramic ball bearing system. Lighter, denser and thinner than steel, ceramics help reduce drag. In fact, this technology reduces overall frictional forces to one-third, compared to a traditional ball-bearing system (oil film), reducing the response time of the supercharging system.

In addition to the turbo, the new exhaust system is the second area where engine performance has been improved on the new Renault MGANE RS TROPHY. The rear silencer was equipped with a mechanical valve that allows adjustment of engine noise. Again, this is a first in the R.S. range
