#Under 8

[withoutabix]

Disappointed but they were never going to make another R26R!

 

[Gally]

It also doesn't have Turinis. Who said it had them?

 

[MarkCup]

I think this reinforces how RS have moved away from the Clio as being a true genuine RS model.

On the Megane they'll throw expensive and undoubtedly firm dampers at it, give it some proper rubber, save a little weight with some expensive options, make it sharp and focussed.

Until they show similar effort on the Clio it's dead as a true RS model IMO...and Jeremy as good as confirmed that there's nothing planned mechanically for the Clio this year. If you want a new RS hot-hatch you're looking at the thick end of £30k.

Such a shame.

Pistonheads!

That includes the Ohlins dampers, fancy Michelins and 19-inch Speedline Turini wheels, as used by a number of iconic Renaultsport special editions

 

[Feirny]

Those chairs are p**n.

 

[cat171]

PH said the V6 had turini's too

 

[Gally]

But they don't have Turinis.

 

[The Boosh!]

There's still the 16 June to wait for yet...

But they don't have Turinis.

They are speedlines new version of the Turini wheel.

 

[Matt W]

You've read it here first! Trophy version and R version confirmed on CS by luke.

 

[CraigR26]

i want to hear more about these Ohlins dampers. Hopefully more than 50 of them come to the UK this time!

 

[Gally]

What are Speedline calling the new wheel?

 

[The Boosh!]

What are Speedline calling the new wheel?

Turini.

 

[Darius]

I like the 'new turinis'

 

[Gavin.]

Aren't they the same wheels as what are on the Mk 2 Renaultsport Megane? They look identical to mine.

 

[Mr Burns]

I love it. I personally think it's way cooler and more special than the 182 Trophy.

 

[Gally]

Turini.

Even though they still sell the old one? Strange.

[SC03OTT]

Is the comment in that link about Renault only selling 45 Megane RS models in the UK last year true?

 

[lemonnobby]

I wouldn't be surprised can't remember the last new one I saw come in.

 

[Sargara]

No idea. Renault never publish sales data until end of production for that model then it gets updated to the Heritage section of their website.

 

[182Trophy]

I love it. I personally think it's way cooler and more special than the 182 Trophy.

A car that came out almost 9 years ago.

 

[Mr Burns]

A car that came out almost 9 years ago.

Yep.

Does that make a 182 cooler than a Williams?

 

[Knuckles]

Omg?!?! Dem seats are pure 'Mazin!

Itll be interesting to see how long the carbon fibre material lasts.

 

[Fletcher]

I quite like it.

 

[Tony Hunter]

20k and they all be in bits.

I think that 'carbon' on the seats ruins them would have looked a lot more classy just finished in black.

 

[Knuckles]

Didn't some 197 recaros s**t themselves after 6k? I doubt this stuff will last 20k

Oddly, i mind it, it's just say on the good side of being tacky

 

[Knuckles]

I know it's nothing to go by, but ktec just posted that they 'may have to get one of these and spec one with the online and akra'


...they are options?! Ktr have to have it wrong, right?

 

[Joe#]

Omg dem seats! This doesn't help my want for a meg.

Titanium exhaust, cage etc were all options with the .R So it could be a similar scenario with this.

 

[Russ Rallye]

Yeah all the fancy stuff is optional, no prices for base car or options yet though. Need more info but I'll be very impressed to see if go under 8 at the ring with hardly and more power or much less weight than the 265trophy.

[brisa4984]

Love how the megane has evolved and picked up performance along the way. A change of suspension, decent exhaust (which was always a downer leading to loads of people removing the centre silencer for more character), more power, stickier rubber and a fresh interior.

Desperately needs a price list.

 

[Gally]

The 10hp upgrade, Cup chassis with limited-slip diff and Akrapovic exhaust are included in the standard spec.

 

[Dan...]

Mmm! :hail:

 

[Russ Rallye]

Yeah so the wheels + sticky tyres and oh kind are extra, that's going to be an extra £2k at least isn't it?
Russ

 

[Joe#]

The Ohlins will be around the 3k mark I presume.

 

[Knuckles]

If they are an option, it's a monumental joke, releasing a special edition then leaving you to spec the things which make it special.

what you're buying is a 265 with a map and some stickers, what you need to spec are the suspension developed for the car and the exhaust which they've been advertising as part of the car.

Terrible show, Renault.

Surprised? Isn't this a facelift over the 265 also?

Its no different than the R26.R was, all the juicy bits on that were optional too.

It comes with the Akrapovic titanium exhaust as standard.
