Renaultsport Megane will make its way to Geneva in March

Renaultsport are prepared to debut their enhanced version of the Megane at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The intial model will be based on hte three-door Megane Coupe and it will rival the Volkswagen Scirocco. Renault are also apparently planning a five-door version of the regular Megane hatchback.

Renaultsport’s Megane will have new, unique styling which will enhance the sporty-ness of the car. The exterior will feature some styling cues from the Megane trophy race car which was at last years Paris Motor Show.

There will be a new aeroblade styling on the front air intake, a radical rear bumper treatment and a center mounted exhaust. Reports are saying that the car will feature flared wheel arches and a wider track.

The power on the new model will come from a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine which is used in the current Renault Megane R26, but the power is now boosted by 20-bhp for a total of 250-bhp.

There will be a six-speed manual with the capability of 0-100km/h in only six seconds flat.

The Renaultsport Megane will feature Brembo brakes, the option of a limited-slip differential, a double axis front suspension to limit the amount of torque steer, there will also be electric power steering which was recalibrated for better driver feel and greater accuracy.
