Renault have just released details of the hot new Mégane. It'll be available in both three and five door configurations and comes with a 225bhp driving the front wheels. Power is courtesy of a two litre turbo engine.
To slow the car, Renault have slapped on some 312mm/300mm discs front and rear with four pot callipers at the front.
The Mégane Renaultsport 225 is assembled at the Dieppe site in France using bodies supplied from Renault’s Palencia factory in Spain. The Dieppe factory is now a facility dedicated to the production of the entire range of sporting models developed by Renaultsport Technologies.
It comes with lots of airbags, some nice seats, an ISOFIX thing to bolt your baby in and probably a state of the art cup holder.
Don't see many maintsream car makers use Orange these days do you?marki said:

Thats nice then.
And the problem is
....well you can imagine the wifey-numties taking the brats to school, contentedly spending more time on little billy than on the road, becauase after all there are 50 airbags and gizmos to protect them.
But really this has to be cheaper than a V6 and has proper power potential being turbo. Even a cup version would be rapid. As for the looks, I am sure people will let it grow on them when they see a fast one!!!

Its not only for wifey you know
The car itself is a bloody good one, yes its safe, its got a good chassis and i can keep up with most and out handle most cars in the same class, and yes that includes all the fat
Golf GiT drivers out there. Yes it has some unusual features, but you either love it or hate it, personally i "like" mine, its actually a real drivers car and i for one cant wait to try out the hot hatch version, well, anythings better than a golf init !
FWD, not many do use Orange, but not many use the Lime green either
Its a good car, try one, you might actually like it !
