Renault Megane RS

Renault has been treating the motor enthusiasts in the middle east by new offers, exciting features, and new models every now and then. After the launch of its new hatch, the Megane GT, the french automaker launched a furthermore good looking hatch, the Megane RS, which is an absolute treat to the eyes. It stands broader and lower than the GT, on which it is based, and flaunts a head-turning F1 inspired design. At the front, it poses a new wider bumper which includes an F1 splitter to channel the airflow, support the exchangers and cool the engine. The beehive grille and specific RS Vision lighting are very eye-catching. The air extractors, splayed beams and black splitter elevate the side profile of the hot hatch and flares the sporty looks. The rear gets a new, wide bumper and a lot of F1-inspired features like the twin central exhaust pipe, functional diffuser, side air outlets, and a redesigned spoiler. Moving inside the Megane RS, you will be greeted to an RS exclusive ambience upholstery with red and black shades all around. It features the Alcantara steering wheel, sporty dashboard, premium quality seats with integrated headrests and added support, aluminium pedal unit, and footrest. Just like the other Megane models, the RS is fully loaded with tech features. It is equipped with a Tesla-inspired 8.7-inches touchscreen, an eight-speaker Bose sound system to take care of your entertainment. The R-LINK 2 multimedia system lets you easily interact with all the vehicle's features and includes radio, navigation, driving assistance, etc. 

The Renault Megane GT gets power from a 1798cc, 1.8-litre, four-cylinder, direct turbo injection engine which is capable of generating a max power of 280hp and a peak torque of 390Nm. These figures are highly impressive, and the massive 3.5-litre V6 engines generally produce such performance. Kudos to the engineers at Renault who managed to pack all of it in a smaller 1.8-litres engine. The wheels receive power from a six-speed, dual-clutch EDC automatic transmission setup. The driving experience can be customised using the MULTI-SENSE technology and the RS drive button; it lets you switch driving modes between Comfort, Neutral, Sport, Race, and Personal, with just one push. The 4CONTROL 4WD technology contributes to concise steering and optimised road-grip for a precise, planted drive experience. At low speeds, the system turns the rear wheels in the opposite direction to the front wheels. At speeds above 60kmph in normal mode and above 100kmph in Race mode, all four wheels turn in the same direction, resulting in total control of the road. With the addition of hydraulic compression stops, the suspension setup has become more powerful to absorb the impact better. This technology delivers spectacular results in terms of continuous control, comfort and performance. Braking setup consists of a 355mm ventilated disc at the rear and a 290mm solid disc at the rear. Safety features include front side airbags, front, and rear curtain airbags, Antilock Braking System, emergency brake assist, seatbelt reminder, tyre pressure monitoring system, blind-spot warning, ESP and Hill-start Assist. The Renault Megane GT is available in select Orange Tonic colors and starts retailing at AED 119,900.
