A lot of rumours in the past few weeks. I think most people (myself included) were expecting more than 15 BHP / 20NM, new tyres and some decals. I suspect they'll release something akin to the R26R nearer the end of it's life.

Still, an improvement on the already excellent 250.

I like the RS250 Megane, however this seems like not a lot of effort to me.
Isn't it widely reported that most produce more than the quoted 250bhp anyway, so how much work have they actually done engine wise.
And that red piping round the wheels is nasty.
However, the normal version would my pick of the hot hatches currently, so a 'better' one can't be all bad can it.

Do you think so? I had understood that the R.26.R was a sales nightmare for Renault (despite it being widely praised) and they had trouble shifting them. If thats the case I doubt they will repeat the process.

Depends how much they think it helped shift lesser Meganes.
