Renault UK has made some changes to the Mégane RS for the 2016 model year, adding two new versions, the 275 Cup-S and 275 Nav.
Available to order now with deliveries starting in November, both versions are powered by the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine from the limited-edition 275 Trophy-R. The engine produces 275hp and 360Nm (265lb-ft) of peak torque, available from 3,000 to 5,000rpm. Mated to a six-speed manual transmission, the unit allows Mégane RS 275 models to sprint from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 6.0 seconds and to reach a top speed of 158mph (254 km/h).
The new Mégane RS 275 Cup-S is priced at £23,935 and comes with the uprated Cup chassis including a mechanical limited-slip differential, firmer springs and dampers, a stiffer anti-roll bar and red paint on the Brembo four-pot brake calipers.
The Renault Mégane RS 275 Nav replaces the outgoing 265, uses the same engine as the 275 Cup-S but comes with a more luxurious level of specification. Priced at £25,935, the Mégane RS 275 Nav has a specification more suited to everyday road driving.
Fitted with the standard ‘Sport’ chassis, the 275 Nav builds on the specification of the 275 Cup-S with additional standard features such as automatic lights and wipers, dual-zone climate control, hands-free keycard entry system, rear parking sensors with color camera, extra tinted rear side windows and tailgate, a sunvisor with illumination, chrome Renaultsport door sill plates, a 4x35W sound system and the R-Link v2 multimedia and navigation system with live traffic updates.
Both versions are available in standard Glacier White or six metallic colors: Arctic White, Diamond Black, Mercury Silver, Titanium Grey, Liquid Yellow and the new Flame Red.
