Renaultsport Megane 275 Trophy revealed ahead of Goodwood debut

Renaultsport Megane 275 Trophy revealed ahead of Goodwood debut 

Renault has revealed a brand new limited-edition version from the Mégane Renaultsport, dubbed the 275 Trophy. Set in order to make its UK debut in the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June, the new model features Renault's Cup chassis and features a limited-slip differential as standard. The car has also received a power upgrade.  One from the key features is definitely Akrapovic performance titanium exhaust system, which helps to increase output coming from the 2. 0-litre turbocharged petrol engine from 261bhp to 271bhp (or 275hp ).

There is also 266lb ft of torque available, while Renault quotes fuel consumption at 37. 7mpg alongside CO2 emissions of 174g / km. The car will probably be the model which Renault will use to tackle the sub eight-minute Nürburgring lap record for front-wheel drive cars, currently held by Seat at 7min 58. 4sec and also at a typical speed of 96. 8mph. A performance Mégane was previously teased inside a preview video in association with Akrapovic.

Dubbed the Under 8 project, It‘s believed that Renaultsport Megane will endeavour to bring back the record coming from the Volkswagen Group in June. Other performance enhancements towards the model include optional adjustable Öhlins dampers and springs and performance Michelin tyres. New Renaultsport graphics also feature alongside optional 19-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, the Mégane 275 Trophy has leather and Alcantara trim, Recaro bucket seats with contrasting stitching and a brand new alloy gear knob. Pricing and specification information will certainly be confirmed closer towards the car's launch, which will probably be later come july 1st. The 275 Trophy is believed to become a run-out edition to the current Mégane before a brand new model arrives in 2015. Renault has confirmed the Trophy will continue sale in 20 countries, with the very first deliveries scheduled for October. Read more Goodwood Festival of Speed news.
