The Renault Megane RS 250 is a very hot hatchback, but still there are people who are not phased by it!
So Renault Sport came up with an even hotter, non street legal rally version of the car for those who want enter local rallies or just want to have fun in weekends.
The Megane RS N4 is built based on group R regulations and is powered by a 2.0-litre 16V turbo engine tuned to give 265hp and torque of 470 Nm. It’s also got rally-spec chassis and suspension.
The PerfoHub independent steering-axis front suspension design has allowed the engineers to put together a chassis that combines traction, directional stability and driving comfort in complete safety. The use of three-way adjustable shock absorbers also allows the settings to be adapted to all types of driving style. The car also gets a a five-speed H-pattern gearbox.
