Renault Takes Wraps Off Ultimate Megane

Renaultsport bid farewell to Megane in style with this storming hot hatchback

The Megane is going out with a bang! A new model is due in early 2010, so the firm's Renaultsport division is preparing a fitting send-off for the current car. The R26.R Ultima Edition has a 2.0-litre turbo engine with 255bhp and 335Nm of torque - up from the 230bhp and 310Nm of the standard R26.
The new car keeps the limited slip diff and Brembo brakes, but 60kg has been shed with the removal of the rear seats, plus the addition of lighter 18-inch alloys, polycarbonate windows and a carbon fibre roof. Track fans can also fit a titanium exhaust and grippier tyres. The Ultima debuts at October's Paris Motor Show.
