Is The 2016 RenaultSport Megane 275 Cup-S A Civic Type R Slayer? - The Art of Gears

Optional on the 275 Cup-S are a few of the options once only reserved for the Trophy and Trophy R. That means the Ohlins Road and Track Dampers, those super-sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and special light-weight exhaust system by... And if so, can that car beat the Honda Civic Type-R to bring back the FWD record to Renault. We’d like to think Renault has a hotted up 275 Cup-S up its sleeve ready to pounce on that FWD record. We think Renault might have to turn the boost up a bit to find another four-five seconds off its old record if it wants to take that crown back. But with a new Renault Megane coming later in September, we have our doubts if they’ll reveal a Trophy-R at all. Source: artofgears.com
