Technical evolutions for the prevailing, exceptional performance package

With most power of 265hp (up 15hp), peak torque of 360Nm (+20Nm) on the market across a very broad rev-band (3,000 to 5,000rpm), a power-to-weight ratio of five.09kg/hp and specific power of 132.5hp/litre, the automobile boasts an exceptional performance package. Even so, Renault Sport’s engineers have worked exhausting on the specification of the Mégane R.S.’s 2.0-litre turbocharged engine to require driving enjoyment and response to even higher levels. most turbo pressure has been uprated to a pair of.5 bar (up zero.2 bar), whereas the air intake style has been revised to require the upper pressure and better running temperatures into consideration.

standard on the Renault Mégane II

Mégane II and the Laguna were both showcases for a great deal of innovative technologies Renault launched at the beginning of the 2000s; the Renault Card keyless ignition system, standard on the Mégane II, was a first in this class and has since been widely adopted. Similarly, the option of a panoramic glass sunroof is another area in which Renault led where others followed.

In Brazil, Renault launched a flex-fuel version, called "Hi-Flex", which is able to run either with unleaded gasoline (petrol) or ethanol. Like the Brazilian Scénic and Clio versions, the Mégane's engine can work with any mix of gasoline and ethanol, due to the use of an electronic control module. The flex version has a 16V 109 hp (110 PS) (113 hp (115 PS) with ethanol) 1.6-litre inline-four engine developed and produced in Brazil, but the 2.0-litre version does not allow ethanol use, because its engine is made in France.

As with the previous Mégane, the range of models is wide; there is a three and five door hatchback available, named "Sport Hatch" and "Hatch" respectively, there is a 4-door saloon/sedan (Sport Saloon), a five-door estate (Sport Tourer / Grandtour), and to replace both the Mégane Coupe and Convertible, a new retractable hardtop coupe designed by Karmann.

The Mégane Renaultsport hot hatch models

The Mégane Renaultsport or Mégane RS is a series of hot hatch models based on Renault Mégane, designed and built by French automaker Renault since 2004.

The Mégane RS is available in three-door and five-door hatchback versions, both with the same engine and it is built in Renault's Dieppe factory, which is where most of their special and race cars are made (like the Clio V6, 5 Turbo, Spyder and Alpine A610 / A110). The Mégane Renault Sport 225 uses innovative double-axis strut suspension with independent steering axis at the front, with electric power steering that reduces its influence as speeds increase.

The RS uses a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine that produces 225 PS (165 kW; 222 bhp), allowing the car to achieve 0–100 km/h in 6.5 s (0-60 mph in 6.3 s), with a top speed of about 240 km/h (149 mph). Ninety percent of the engine's torque is available from 2000 rpm until redline. A super-light twin-scroll turbo minimizes turbo lag, and when throttle is applied at anything over 2000 rpm there is almost no discernible lag. The transmission is a six-speed manual. Renault's claimed combined economy is 8.8 L/100 km (32 mpg-imp; 27 mpg-US), and real-world highway driving will see approximately 7.0 L/100 km (40 mpg-imp; 34 mpg-US), which is unusually efficient for a car this powerful.

In a 2004 road test by Mexican car magazine Automóvil Panamericano, the car was proven to reach 247 bhp (184 kW; 250 PS) from its powerplant.

The Renault Mégane II new style

The Mégane II was launched in September 2002, and marked a completely fresh start. The two cars bear very little resemblance, the new vehicle having been inspired by the manufacturer's new style first seen in the Avantime. The new Mégane was voted European Car of the Year for 2003, fighting off stiff competition from Japan's Mazda 6 and PSA's Citroën C3, and achieved a 5-star safety rating in the EuroNCAP crash tests, the first small family car to do so.

Mégane II and the Laguna were both showcases for a great deal of innovative technologies Renault launched at the beginning of the 2000s; the Renault Card keyless ignition system, standard on the Mégane II, was a first in this class and has since been widely adopted. Similarly, the option of a panoramic glass sunroof is another area in which Renault led where others followed.
