Looks good. The one part of the megane that I dont like is the front bumper design and this has been sorted out. Will this be a Renaultsport Megane replacement? or just a warm hatch??

Funny how Renault works lately, they cancel mainstream product such as the Laguna and Espace yet they green-light a Megane RS. I guess they think that this will keep their image at an acceptable level

Why must they call it an RS? We all know this is what the Focus RS will take on, but does it need the same badging? Ford fan, yep, but this would want to be good to take on the King.

The production car will probably be branded as RenaultSport

It's the equivalent of ST, indeed. More hardcore versions could get closer to the RS, but nowhere near it in therms of power.

May not be in terms of power but in terms of speed the current gen R26R is much faster. also

The Mégane R26R holds the record for the fastest front wheel drive car around the Nürburgring with a time of 8m 17s.

Pretty impressive i think
