2018 Renault Megane RS Ain't Afraid Of No Snow


Renault needs to keep up with the hype surrounding the new generation Megane RS, and they have done so by releasing new images of a camouflaged prototype.

This is shown on snow-covered roads, probably somewhere in northern Europe, where it was taken to be refined as part of its development phase, so if you were looking to catch yet another look at its naked body, then you will be disappointed.

It's been said that the brand's contender to the likes of the Honda Civic Type R, Ford Focus RS, VW Golf R, and other potent vehicles in the compact hot hatch segment, will make use of a 2.0-liter turbo'd four-banger. The engine will deliver around 300 horsepower to the front wheels through either a six-speed stick shift, or the brand's EDC dual-clutch automatic transmission.

To compensate the lack of all-wheel drive, the 2018 Renault Megane RS is expected to employ a new version of the four-wheel steering system, along with a sports suspension, and a limited-slip differential, which will make it agile around corners.

The French car marque will have their new hot hatch on display at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, which opens its gates in early September.
