Only 7 of these MEGANE R.S. 300 TROPHY are S.A. bound

The Renault Megane R.S 300 Trophy will be making its way to South Africa with only 7 models being offered.

Having driven the Renault Megane RS, I can only imagine what the R.S 300 Trophy edition will feel like. I am hoping I get to experience the R.S 300 Trophy edition when it does land in South Africa. 

So, only 7 of these cars are making their way into our shores, yes only 7 and here is why you should make your way to the nearest Renault dealership as soon as possible to place your order. 

Those with the ‘need for speed’ can look forward to an all-round performance car that combines everyday drivability with even sharper on-track performance.

The Jerez Triple Tone 19” wheels with bold red styling.

Instantly recognisable by its Trophy insignia on the side panel, a distinctive Sport front bumper with F1 blade, a specific Rear Diffuser, an intelligent central exhaust pipe and unique Jerez Triple Tone 19” wheels with bold red styling, the Renault Megane R.S 300 Trophy is a looker for any petrolhead. 

The Bridgestone Potenza S001 tyres are geared for exceptional grip and responsiveness.

The New R.S. TROPHY redefines performance, with technology coming directly from Formula 1, the turbocharger’s turbine is now mounted on a ceramic ball bearing for shorter response time. The New MEGANE R.S. 300 TROPHY offers a choice between two transmissions: a 6-speed manual gearbox with an output of 400Nm, and a 6-speed dual-clutch EDC gearbox, exuding 420Nm from a 1.8-litre turbo engine.

The interior presents another step into the R.S. world with its signature Recaro seats, finished in Alcantara, with racy red top-stitching on the upholstery.

The cockpit has been designed with extreme driving pleasure and comfort in mind. The Renault Sports Multimedia System includes a convenient portrait sized R-LINK 8.7” touchscreen, satellite navigation system with South African maps, Bluetooth, USB and AUX input to keep one entertained – and on the right road. Further innovative features include Dual Zone climate control, cruise control with speed limiter, a unique Renault hands-free key card for keyless entry, and automatic lights and wipers which all aid in keeping one comfortable and safe in the journey.

And then there’s the R.S. Monitor V2 on-board tracking system – playful yet ingenious – keeping the driver informed of the engine performance, featuring remarkable Race Telemetry to monitor track timing statistics.

Other R.S. specific design cues within the cockpit include the Alcantara steering wheel, the Zamac Aluminium gear lever knob, and handbrake gaiter.

The pinnacle of R.S. design and comfort has to be the Recaro Bucket seats, in Alcantara upholstery, which allow the driver’s position to be lowered by up to 20mm.
