This expert work has been validated by the stopwatch: a new absolute record for a front-wheel drive production car was achieved on 5th April 2019 by the New MÉGANE R.S. Aerodynamics improved even further for better support and better circulation of flows (specific underbody fairings and carbon diffuser) and additionally optimised thermal control (NACA air intake, brake scoops, etc.).Completely redesigned suspension, for a more radical result. Front axle with increased negative camber, lighter rear H axle, specific adjustable Öhlins shock-absorbers, Bridgestone Potenza S007 tyres exclusive to #renault Sport, and high performance braking with optional Brembo carbon-ceramic discs, etc.Verdict on the scales: -130 kg lighter than the Mégane R.S. The quest to reduce weight looked at every detail, from the absence of a rear seat to the adoption of (optional) carbon wheel rims, not forgetting the Akrapovič titanium exhaust line. So the #renault Sport wizards did not focus on power to enhance performance, they looked elsewhere in three main spheres of development. TROPHY-R has the same exceptionally efficient 1.8 L 300 bhp engine as the Trophy version (167 bhp/l). The outcome was validated by a new record on the Nürburgring. TROPHY-R is the most high performance production car #renault has ever put on the market. It is rooted in Renault’s immense history in motorsport, and perpetuates the legend of the record-breaking Mégane R.S., once more bringing to the roads the technologies and know-how #renault Sport has developed on the racetrack. For this car, #renault Sport engineers have pushed their expertise further than ever before.
