The New Renault Sport Megane Is Hidden Somewhere Under This Sheet
The next Renault Sport Megane has pretty big shoes to fill. Sure, the old one isn’t some all-wheel drive, bargain drift-mobile like the Focus RS, but what is has over the Ford and every other hot hatch out there is driving purity. If you want to know how steering is supposed to feel, what proper chassis feedback is like, and how fun lift-off oversteer can be, it’s the car you turn to. And while it’s not a car about headline figures, it’s worth remembering it did hold the front-wheel drive Nurburgring lap record. Twice.
So, we’re rather hoping the new one - teased at the end of the video above - will be good. The latest rumours suggest a power output in excess of 300bhp - with the whole lot sent to the front wheels exclusively - and the option of a manual or automatic gearbox. No DCT-only shenanigans like the Clio RS200.
It’ll be fully revealed later in the year.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Looks like a sandero
Can we please stop with these “looks like <car that doesn’t look anything like it>” kind of comments under each posts?

Ok then
Oh its there alright. Lol.
As amazing as this is likely to be, I can’t forgive Renault for dangling the R.S.16 in front of us. That, I’d have bought in a heartbeat.
All we know is that its going to be yellow
Plot twist: it debuts in French Racing Blue.
Pretty awesome video, I must say
More HP than that Alpine A110……

Alpine has the same weight as base Clio though. :)
It’ll be great I’m sure
but… I’m still not convinced by those DRL’s. In my eyes, they look far too big & ruin the lines of the car..
Maybe another midengined hatch 🤔
