Whilst an awesome achievement, it took 4 years, more power, a new gen platform and semi slicks to beat a French tin can.
I suspect Honda will beat this. I also suspect as the Megane is reaching end of life, they'll have another shot with a 265.R
New FRS, VXtReme thing, R Evo, 1/2M etc etc all on their way. Amazing times in the hot hatch world, I don't remember such a jump in evolution for a long time.
