This is, we're told, the fastest-ever Renault. It's called the Mégane Renaultsport 265 Trophy and it's a new limited edition that's set to be unveiled at the Nurburgring round of the World Series by Renault this weekend.
The Trophy gets an extra 15hp and 15lb ft of torque, pushing its vital statistics up to 265hp and 266lb ft of torque. That's enough to drop the 0-62mph sprint by a tenth of a second to 6.0secs dead, and to improve the top speed by 2mph to 158mph.
Okay, so it's not a massive performance hike but it is, like we said, enough to make the Trophy the fastest road-going Renault ever.
In order to create a Trophy, Renault takes a Cup-spec chassis, bungs in some Recaro seats with yellow seatbelts and detailing, red-rimmed 19-inch Speedline alloys, Liquid Yellow paint (you may remember it from such fast Renaults as the Clio Renaultsport 182 and V6 255, and the R26 and R26.R), and 'Trophy' decals on the front 'blade' and doors.
The Trophy also includes Renaultsport Monitor on-board performance tracking, some sticky Bridgestone Potenza RE050As and a UK-numbered plaque.
Customers will also get free access to the full 2012 Renaultsport UK track day calendar, worth around £650, which is awfully decent of Renault.
If you fancy one then you'd better get onto it, though; the Trophy is limited to 500 units worldwide, and the UK is due to get just 50 of them. Those 50 will be available to order from 20th June, priced at £27,820 (only £600 more than the top-spec 'standard' car) with deliveries expected in early July.
