About the Renault Megane RS Mk4
The Mk4 Megane RS 300 Trophy represents the pinnacle of Renault Sport's front-wheel-drive engineering before the brand transitioned to Alpine. It features a 1.8-litre engine shared with the Alpine A110, enhanced here with a ceramic ball-bearing turbocharger to reduce friction and improve response. The Trophy comes standard with the 'Cup' chassis, including a Torsen limited-slip differential and stiffer suspension, alongside Renault's unique 4Control four-wheel steering system. While it offers immense grip and agility, the ride is notably firm, reflecting its track-focused intent.
