This Renault Megane has only two seats.
Since its creation in 1995, the Megane is a practical family car that offers good value to those who are looking for a reliable and affordable compact vehicle. The hot hatch RS model from the French automaker has also been introduced. The Trophy-R variant is a hardcore version a car that’s already tough. The Nurburgring Record Pack takes things to the next level.
YouTuber Shmee150 I had the chance to drive the snazzy hatchback in all its glory, with two seats. Only one of 500 cars were ever produced for the UK. It is one of only two UK-spec cars equipped with Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes. This makes it possibly the rarest Megane.
It’s not cheap at PS72,140 (or 94,174 at current exchange rate). This is the price you have to pay to own the fastest production car at the Nurburgring. Numerous upgrades to the Trophy-R made it lap the Green Hell in 7 mins and 40.1 seconds.
The most significant change was the 130-kilogram weight loss (or 287 pounds). This was achieved by installing carbon fiber wheels, and getting rid both of the rear bench and rear-wheel steering. Renault reduced the screen size and added a lighter cargo mat to the touchscreen. The parcel shelf was also removed.
As Shmee speaks, it is easy to hear the Akrapovic exhaust. The Megane RS Trophy – R Nurburgring Record Pack is as engaging and engaging as it is. However, its high price makes it difficult to sell. This is especially true when compared with the Alpine, which is a rear-wheel-drive coupe with the same turbocharged gasoline engine as the Renault.
Megane enthusiasts who care about Nurburgring lap times and want to enjoy the Megane platform’s maximum potential will be interested in this. Collectors will also be interested in this hot hatch, with only 500 being built worldwide.
