2016 Renault Mégane Renaultsport 275 Cup-S And Its Offerings

Hot hatch fans now can enjoy the multi-award-winning, high-performance Megane Renaultsport which comes with the introduction of the 275 Cup-S. The vehicle not only bring some additional features but is also offered with more appealing price. But this is not all. The Renaultsport lineup also offers and the 275 Nav. This model replaces the 265 and adds 10 hp more. How cool is that?

In fact, both of the Megane Renaultsport models are geared with the same 2.0-Liter 275 hp (202 kW) turbocharged petrol powerplant. As you might remember, this is the same engine that helped the 275 Trophy-R shatter the lap record for a front-wheel-drive production car around the 13-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife with a time of 7 minutes 54.36 seconds back in June 2014. This is what I call a badass engine.

The Mégane Renaultsport 275 Cup-S

As in every other sport vehicle the Renaultsport comes with a special engine. In normal mode it develops a total of 250 hp at 5,5000 rpm for comfortable and smooth everyday drive, but with the Renaultsport Dynamic Management system the vehicle produces additional 10 hp and a total of 360 Nm of torque. And with the slick-shifting six-speed manual transmission you are ready to rule over the streets. With responsibility I hope.

Futhermore, the vehicle goes from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.0 seconds and has a top speed of 284 km/h (158 mph). And there are also good news for the eco-fans out there. This engine meets all EU6 restrictions and with the start/stop system it has NEDC of 37.7mpg and CO2 emission of 174g/km.

The 275 Cup-S also comes with the proven Cup Chassis Pack with mechanical limited-slip differential, red Brembo four-pot brake calipers, fine-tuned springs and dampers and a stiffer anti-roll bar.

This vehicle definitely deserves our attention. Maybe it deserves and yours. So, what do you think about it?

The flagship Megane Renaultsport takes its inspiration from Red Bull Racing’s Formula 1 identity, featuring an exclusive Twilight Blue finish with Platinum Grey detail.

2012 Renault Megane UK range – Pricing

Renault UK has announced the full price list of the Megane Range. The new 2012 models come with minor styling changes to freshen up their original lines – modified front end, LED daytime running lights, a gloss black bumper and a lot of sets of wheels.

In terms of line-up, from April, a new entry-level Expression+ welcomes the inclusion of Bluetooth™, USB connection and upgraded audio system to 4 x 20W radio CD with fingertip remote control and AUX input, on top of an already high equipment level: 16” alloys, air conditioning and front fog lights.

The top-of-the-range GT-Line TomTom also sees several new additions: auto parking brake with Hill Start Assist, parking camera with rear parking sensors, Arkamys 3D Sound 4x35W audio system – worth £760, but an OTR price only £270 greater than the previous range (dCi 160).

The interior comes with new trims including a leather pack available in a choice of two finishes in the UK. The personality of the specific GT-Line TomTom finishes has also been enhanced inside and out thanks to specific ‘boomerang’-shaped LED lights, visible red upholstery stitching and a sports steering wheel incorporating thumb rests, plus Renault Sport-badged door sill guards and dashboard trim strip, serving as a reminder that it belongs to the Renaultsport family. Last but not least, the list of body colours available for Mégane 2012 has been extended with the addition of Azzurro Blue and Arctic White.

The engine range includes a 1.2 TCe 115 petrol, 1.5 dCi 110 and the 1.6 dCi 130 diesel powered units. All feature Stop & Start technology, which are already available in the Scenic 2012 range.

The new 1.2 TCe 115 retunrs up to 53.3 mpg on combined cycle and 119g/km CO₂. The 1.5 dCi 110 gives class-leading 80.7 mpg and emits only 90 g/km CO₂. The 1.6 dCi 130 boats 70.6 mpg and 104g/km CO₂ emission.

The Megane range now features the Visio System camera, which improves night-time vision by permanently scanning the road ahead. Lane departure warning has also been added to Megane 2012.If lane markings are crossed without the indicators having been being activated (above 44 mph), visible and audible warnings are automatically activated

All radios are now equipped with Bluetooth hands-free telephony, connectivity and audio-streaming, as well as multi-functional TunePoint and USB input which enable music stored on mobile devices to be controlled by the vehicle’s steering wheel-mounted fingertip control. Also available is Carminat TomTom® Live navigation (HD Traffic, real-time traffic information, etc.) on Expression+.

Hill Start Assist prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards when pulling away on a slope, while lane change indicators warn other motorists when the driver is about to change lanes by flashing three times following a simple flick of the indicator stalk.

To assist parking manoeuvres, a rear parking cameraprovides a precise image of the vehicle’s immediate surroundings and depicts its trajectory to help drivers adjust their line. Last but not least, the dual-zone automatic climate control is now equipped with a quality sensor which monitors cabin air quality and automatically activates the air-recycling mode whenever necessary.

Megane Renaultsport 265 Trophy Nurburgring Record – 8:07:97

Renault Sport has made it, again. The team has set a lap record for a front-wheel drive production car at the Nordschleife. The car is the well-known Megane Renaultsport 265 Trophy, which crossed the finish line for just 8 minutes 7 seconds and 97”, which is a full 9 seconds faster than the lap record that has stood for three years.

Renaultsport 265 Trophy is powered by a turbocharged 2.0 litre petrol engine with staggering 265PS and 360Nm of torque available between 3000 and 5000RPM. The hot hatchback achieves impressive power-to-weight ratio of 191HP per tonne.

Laurent Hurgon, development driver, Renault Sport:

“The Nordschleife is a legendary course. Its length and layout, which is very different to that of a conventional circuit, make it a unique and technically demanding challenge. Its difficulties are extremely varied, ranging from fast and even very fast in places to much twistier and slower portions. Turns like ‘Karusell’ and ‘Pflanzgarten’, for example, make huge demands of the car and driver alike, yet Mégane Renaultsport Trophy is very much in its element here and feels particularly reassuring despite the uncompromising nature of the terrain. The limited slip differential allowed me to accelerate hard out of the countless turns without understeer. The carefully-tuned Cup chassis, the dampers, the fade-resistant brakes, the Recaro seats, the power of the 265hp engine, the ready availability of torque between 2,500 and 5,000rpm and the car’s Bridgestone RE 050A (235/35 R19) tyres allowed me to make the most of the car’s enormous potential, especially into and out of the corners. It is this package which enabled me to post such a quick time round this circuit which you must always approach with a certain degree of humility.”

Renault Megane Renaultsport 265 Trophy

Renault has introduced the most powerful road car in the manufacturer’s history. Megane Renaultsport 265 Trophy comes at just £27 820 and it is ready to outrun VW Golf and Scirocco R models.

Renaultsport 265 Trophy is powered by a turbocharged 2.0 litre petrol engine with staggering 265PS and 360Nm of torque available between 3000 and 5000RPM. The hot hatch achieves impressive power-to-weight ratio of 191HP per tonne. Not bad, not bad at all!

The results are thanks to an improvement in maximum turbo pressure, which is now 2.5 bar and a new air intake revised to take account of the higher pressure and running temperatures.

A great addition to the sports hatchback is free access to the full 2012 Renaultsport UK trackday calendar, worth around £650.

Besides of the brutal engine, Renaultsport 265 Trophy comes with a huge 19” gloss black Speedline alloys with red rim fitted with high-performance Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tyres. The car boasts “Trophy” red decals on the F1-style front blade and doors, and LED daytime running lights.

Megane 265 Trophy features stiffer springs, dampers and anti-roll bar and grooved brake discs. It also has a mechanical limited slip differential, Brembo brakes, as well as the innovative PerfoHub independent steering axis front suspension set-up, which virtually eliminates torque steer. All these upgrades makes the Megane a perfect road car suitable for time attack at racetracks.

Megane Renaultsport 265 Trophy will be limited to just 500 units, so you’d better hurry up. Orderrs open 20^th June and first deliveries end July.
