Still, Renault Sport engineers have been working hard on the specification of the Megane RS 2.0 liter turbo enjoy driving and the response to even higher levels. Maximum boost pressure to 2.5 bar is updated (up to 0.2 bar), while the design of the air intake has been revised to take greater pressure and high temperature operation in mind.
Performance has been improved in the process and the result is a 0-100kph in just to 6.0s (down 0.1 s), a top speed of 254kph (up 4kph) and 1,000 kilometers standing start in 25.4 (down 0.3 s).
