Renault Megane RS 275 Trophy Turbo beefed up to 275hp

Renault's new Megane RS 275 Trophy boasts its updated 2.0-liter turbo engine that develops an additional 10 hp, for a total of 275hp at 5,500rpm and 360 Nm of torque between 3,000 rpm and 5,000rpm. The new turbocharged petrol engine of the Megane Renaultsport 275 Trophy promises to offer a fuel economy of 37.7 mpg and a CO2 emissions level of 174 g/km. Unfortunately, Renault did not disclose the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) acceleration time of the Megane RS 275 Trophy, nor its top speed.

The extra power of Renault Megane RS 275 Trophy's turbo engine comes from various modifications and an Akrapovic titanium exhaust system. The Megane RS 275 Trophy is fitted with Ohlins Road & Track dampers, MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, a limited slip diff and a Cup chassis. The Megane RS 275 Trophy's souped-up turbocharged engine is completed by various styling upgrades. These include logos on the silver F1-style silver blade, various decals, chequered flag graphic at the bottom of the doors, and numbered door sills. The Renault Megane RS 275 Trophy sits on 19-inch black Speedline Turini wheels. For the interior of the Megane RS 275 Trophy, Renault is offering leather and Alcantara Recaro bucket seats with red stitching, an Alcantara steering wheel and various badges. The Renault Megane RS 275 Trophy's price has not been announced yet, but the French carmaker says it's going to put it on sale in October.
