Renault Sport continues with the testing of the 2017 Renault Megane RS ahead of its expected debut this month. The rear-end of the RS variant will have more changes, including a tweaked bumper with vertical air inlets and a diffuser.

Other changes on the outside should include a triple-element LED daytime running lights, more aggressive front bumper, wheel arch extension and RS alloy wheels shod with low-profile tyres.


The 2017 Renault Megane RS will sport a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine tuned to deliver over 300 bhp. This unit will route power to the front wheels likely via a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The redesigned Megane RS will feature four-wheel steering and European reports suggest Renault Sport has ruled out an all-wheel drive system.

The 2017 Renault Megane RS is expected to debut on 26 May 2017. Its market launch will likely take place in the second half of the year.
