The Renault Mégane RS appeared in France in 2003 and now, 20 years later, the diamond brand presents its latest incarnation, which will also be the last Renault Sport in history. It is not for nothing that it is called Ultime. This farewell does not mean that the diamond house abandons the sports versions of its models, but rather that they will be in the hands of the reborn Alpine brand.
Renault Megane RS Ultime
The last Mégane RS in history is presented at the Tokyo Auto Salon, which is not the classic Japanese car event, but a tuning show. It will be a series limited to only 1,976 units, in honor of the year of foundation of Renault Sport.
The special series will stand out aesthetically for showing:
- Bodywork widened 60 mm at the front and 45 mm at the rear
- 19″ Fuji wheels in black
- red calipers
- Black logos, window frames, B-pillars and door handles.
In the cabin it has:
- Recaro bucket seats
- Black alcantara upholstery
- special stirrups
- special edition plate
- The signature of Laurent Hurgon, responsible for the Mégane RS records on tracks such as: Nürburgring, Spa-Francorchamps and Suzuka
Renault Mégane RS Ultime: Mechanics to run
The latest incarnation of the Megane signed by Renault Sport has the same 1.8-liter turbo with a delivery of 300 horsepower. which are sent to the front end through a 7-change double-clutch box. The benefits indicate a 0 to 100 km/h of 5.7 seconds and 255 km/h of maximum speed.
Regarding the chassis, it has the Cup preparation level with less clearance and the steering system on the rear axle called 4Control. Bridgestone Potenza S007 semi-slick tires and mechanical front differential complete.
Do you think that the versions signed by Alpine will have the same “magic”?
