Built to stun those who see them, surprise those who think they know them and invigorate those who drive them, the Renault Megane R.S. Range is unlike any Conventional Sports Car we’ve ever built before. Yes, the passion for French style and sporty good looks is there, but so too is the brute force of a thoroughbred racing vehicle that is far beyond what many have come to expect to find in an everyday vehicle.
Although there is a distinctly different feel to these two vehicles, this is all down to trim levels and sports packages and transmission, as these racy little numbers both have an athlete’s heart and will delight and astound you as you enjoy a vehicle that offers both more bark as well as a lot more bite than your regular Hot Hatch!

MEGANE R.S. ENGINE SPECS
2020 Renault Megane RS Engine Specs
The beating heart of a true champion powers both the Megane R.S. 280 Lux EDC and the Renault Megane R.S. 280 Cup in the shape of the engineering marvel that is Renaults 1.8 Litre 16-valve, 4 Cylinder Turbo Direct Injection Engine which puts out an astounding amount of power! But don’t simply take our word for it, take a look at these mind blowing Renault Megane R.S. Engine Specs below:
Engine Type | Max Power Rating | Peak Torque |
1.8 Litre 16-valve Turbo | 205kW | 390Nm |
All of this is controlled using Renault’s 6-speed manual gearbox in the Renault Megane R.S. 280 Cup, and the EDC Automatic Double Clutch in the Megane R.S. 280 Lux EDC, allowing both of these lightning fast vehicles to blow away the competition with a standard performance of 0-100 kph in 5.0 seconds and a 400 meter sprint in 14.0 seconds.
