    Renault Megane-RS Madrid Police - Side Angle

    Police of Madrid, Spain has received two Renault Megane RS cars, which will help them to prevent crimes. The ex-fastest FWD (front-wheel drive) car around Nurburgring is one of the best hot hatchbacks in the world. It is not only extremely fast in straight line, but in the corners too, which makes it perfect for car chasing.

    Both cars feature the typical police livery and equipment as well as a new doors from Kevlar, which is added for additional protection. Renault Megane RS is powered by a 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol with 265HP (197 kW) and 360Nm (267 lb-ft) of torque. 0-100 km/h in under 6 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) – eletronically limited.

    The felons will have a real trouble escaping from these cars, because they are not only fast, but economical. Other special features include Recaro seats, R-Link Multimedia system and TomTom Live navigation system, Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tyres, plus the latest on-board Renaultsport Monitor v2.0 featuring a more user-friendly interface, GPS-tracked lap timing, 0-62 mph times, G-force diagram, power output data and other information.Renault Megane RS Madrid Police - SideRenault Megane RS Madrid Police - InteriorRenault Megane RS Madrid Police - Interior

    Renault has published a teaser image of a more hardcore Megane RS Trophy, which is expected to make official debut on June 16th. The hot hatchback was the fastest front-wheel drive car at the Nurburgring for a long time, but the current leader is the extremely powerful Seat Leon Cupra 280.

    The Spanish legend managed to complete a lap around the Green Hell in  7 minutes and 58.4 seconds. So, the game is officially on and Renault will release a special edition of the Megane RS Trophy, which will be able to lap the Ring in less than 8 minutes.

    Renaultsport 265 Trophy is powered by a turbocharged 2.0 litre petrol engine with staggering 265HP (195 kW) and 360Nm (265 lb-ft) of torque available between at 3,000RPM. The hot hatch achieves impressive power-to-weight ratio of 191HP / tonne. It will be fitted with a custom Akrapovic exhaust system featuring a carbon fiber cover. Of course, we expect improved engine management, so the uprated Megane RS will have more than 280HP.

    Besides of the insane 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.
