Is this renault pulling out all the stops on the megane.

Car, yes very nice, though it still has a weird backside.
Wheels, what the hell were they thinking.

I would definately have to fit privacy glass to that before I could drive it :lol:



(Just realised it already has it. I wonder why!)

One piece carbon bucket seats sound nice!

Although the wheels are indeed awful, still think it would be sought after if they made a small batch like the Trophy

I think the options list like cage and titanium zorst are some good items. Should have been available with the Trophy. The red wheels are a bit GT3ish. Black wheels tho should be nice

Definitely a photochop, there's a big thread on the RSUK forum "Very Interesting..." about it. I think its great what it looks like Reno are going to do with the R26R, but for that money... as the saying goes :wink:

Funny. It had power boosted to 255 bhp at the Paris Motor Show, now it's back to the standard engine...

the write up sounds good. http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/community ... EN0808NL01

1 second a kilometer quicker than a R26 and 1.5 seconds when on R888's!

Knocking on the door of 8 minutes around the ring is mighty impressive also... i'm sure if it was putting out a more suitable 250+ bhp it'd get under that figure.

Still a E36 evo M3, would cost around £5k to buy now at a guess, strip it, better brakes, suspension etc and you'd be wiping the floor with anything this side of a Noble or Caterham etc (sub £100k)

It looks like Renaults 'decal' design department have been busy again - personally id go subtle or none at all.

..............but then again it has RED wheels !!.

 

[hoolio]

BAN THE BOT, i say.

 

[Cue]

i wish i could do a bit more than just ban him lol.....

 

[hoolio]

Think we better get used to more of this, there seem to have been a load of wierd names appearing lately. I don't think our newest member YUYOTUIIE is going to be that interested in the relative merits of the blueflame or orbisoud exhausts

 

[Cue]

(offtopic) i've already banned them - it's the same ip as before and they will be promoting this world of warcraft thing....
