Earlier in the year we showed you photos and videos of Renaultsport's testing session at the Nurburgring Nordschleife. It was obvious that the guys were trying hard, and in the middle of the usual RS models lurked the red Megane pictured above. Now Renaultsport have released the name of this exciting new model, hinted at it's performance and given us a very cool video of the machine in action... full video and more details after the read more link.
