2009 Renault Megane Trophy
by admin
If there’s one French compound we love, it’s this: yield a banal Renault abridgement car, fit it with agrarian bodywork, and admit a able motor in lieu of a rear seat. That action formed wonders for cars like the 5 Turbo and Clio Renault Sport, and it looks as if the new 2009 Renault Megane Trophy, apparent at this week’s Paris motor show, will be no exception.
We’ll accord Renault some acclaim - we were assured to see the new Megane, absolutely restyled and re-worked for 2009, but we weren’t assured to see this. And how could we not? With a clue as advanced as the Champs-Elysees and an acutely chopped roofline, the Megane Trophy has the beheld gravitas of a accurate sports car - or at atomic its 5 Turbo ancestor.
It does, thankfully, backpack some achievement accreditation to match. Behind the cockpit lies a Nissan-sourced 3.5-liter V-6, acquainted to the key of some 360 hp. Renault claims that 30-hp addition comes address of forced-air induction, which is ducted through a beat army just aloft the windshield.
Incredibly, Renault says the Megane Trophy can about-face agnate lap times to a Porsche 911 GT3, but we may never see for ourselves. The Megane Trophy will be relegated to Renault’s one-make Eurocup Megane Trophy alternation - and while that may accomplish for some absorbing spec-racing, we’d adulation to see one of these mix it up with a GT3 out at Le Mans.
