Renaultsport
Megane 275 Cup-S
Renaultsport
has unveiled a pair of high-spec run-out specials of the range-topping Renault
Megane RS.
The
new Cup-S includes air-con, cruise control and a 20-watt sound system with
Bluetooth and auxiliary input as standard. It also makes use of the mechanical
limited-slip differential, red Brembo brake calipers, firmer springs and
dampers and stiffer anti-roll bar offered by the Cup Chassis Pack. With the
uprated Cup chassis as standard, the 275 Cup-S costs from £ 23,935.
For
an extra £ 2,000, the 275 Nav model adds an upgraded infotainment system,
automatic lights and wipers, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and rear
parking sensors with a colour reversing camera. However, buyers can spec the
275 Nav with the Cup Chassis Pack for £ 1,350.
The
extended wheel arches, F1-style front blade, rear diffuser and extended spoiler
all form part of the aerodynamic styling that helps identify both versions from
the standard Megane. Options for both cars include 19-inch wheels (£ 1,000) and
Recaro leather seats (£ 1,300), while the Cup-S is available with a titanium
exhaust (£ 2,500) and Öhlins adjustable dampers (£2 ,000). The Öhlins Road &
Track adjustable dampers offer 20 positions at the front and 30 at the rear to
help provide additional damping with heavy braking or upon hitting a bump.
The
Megane 275 Cup-S and 275 Nav use the same 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine
and 6-speed manual gearbox. Both are capable of 0-62 mph in 6.0 seconds, while
they feature stop/start technology to claim 37.7 mpg fuel economy and 174 g/km
CO2 emissions.
