PURE PERFORMANCE
The Renault Sport badge on the new Mégane R.S. is a constant guarantee that decades of motorsport experience lie behind every design decision. The very latest in technology is always there to aid the driver if needed, whether it's under extreme cornering or to help with urban parking.
R.S. Drive on the Megane R.S. lets you select your driving style from My Sense, Save, Sport and Race modes. With each one, you will feel the difference in the gearbox mapping, ESP behaviour, steering and sensitivity of the accelerator pedal. Steering wheel paddles with the optional EDC gearbox make gear changes ultra-fast. And Launch Control – with left foot on the brake, right foot on the accelerator – releases a surge of adrenaline as you come off the brake for a Grand Prix-style start.
The Sport chassis on the Mégane R.S. is the ultimate balance between road comfort and sporty performance. Borrowed from the demanding world of rallying, hydraulic compression stops are added to each shock absorber to dampen the bump before they reach full compression. This avoids any rebound and pendulum effects, helping to keep each tyre in contact with the ground to produce notable improvement, whatever the road throws at you.
Renault’s 4CONTROL system lets the Mégane R.S. smooth out every corner by allowing synchronised steering control of both the front and rear wheels. At high speeds the result is extra stability and a boost in driver confidence, a feeling of being glued to the road. At low speeds, or when parking, it brings remarkable agility and control.
Choose the option of either a six-speed manual gearbox or EDC (Efficient Dual Clutch) automatic transmission for the Mégane R.S. The EDC steering wheel paddles will help you realise the full potential of the exciting Sport chassis. If you prefer a simple, more direct drive, you will enjoy running through the gears in the manual version and bring fun into even the most everyday drive.
