Renaultsport Mégane - Arriving at Lifestyle Renault in Sussex - Late 2009

Ghostly image confirms spirit of new Renaultsport Megane.

Renault has revealed the first official image of its hotly anticipated Renaultsport Megane, due for launch at the Geneva Motor Show on March 3rd.

The picture was first released through a special website, which is currently counting down to the official unveil.


This is the first official confirmation that Renault plans an answer to the awesome Ford Focus RS – and from these early images, it’s clear that the firm is taking the challenge very seriously.

This X-Ray like image proves the latest generation Renaultsport Mégane promises to pack plenty of style thanks to a bodykit influenced by the Trophy racer unveiled at the Paris show last year.


The front bumper is complimented by flared wheelarches, a distinctive rear wing and a centre-exit exhaust.

Lightweight 18-inch alloys will feature too, with Brembo brakes hiding behind them.


Under the bonnet, the Mégane will use the same engine as in the outgoing Mégane R26.R. Power will remain around 230hp, but torque will be boosted from 309Nm. To around 320Nm This will be connected to the front wheels via a six-speed ’box and limited slip diff.


The Renaultsport Mégane is also likely to be offered with diesel power once again, using the new dCi 180 engine as seen in the Laguna GT.

Prices will be confirmed when the car goes on sale, later this year.
