Only 30 examples of the new Renault Megange RenaultSport (RS) Red Bull Racing RB8 edition (that’s what we call a trainload of names) will be offered to UK buyers at £28,245 a pop, or £1,500 more than the regular Megane RS Coupe upon which it is based.

On sale now, the Red Bull edition of the French hot hatch is available in an exclusive to this model Twilight Blue finish with Platinum detailing, reminiscent of Red Bull’s F1 race cars.

Additional equipment over the stock Megane RS includes, Recaro front seats, R-Link Multimedia and TomTom Live navigation systems, Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tyres from the 265 Trophy fitted to exclusive 19-inch gloss black ‘Steev’ alloy wheels with platinum coloured rims, and the latest on-board Renaultsport Monitor v2.0.

Under the hood, the 265-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four paired to a six-speed manual and a limited slip differential remain unchanged.
