Renault did it then. With a stripped out R26.R style 275 dripping in motorsport parts. At least you will be able to buy one the same spec, though, unlike the Leon.

Doubt you could get the exact same spec that Renault used as part of the standard car??

Just sour because a poor mans golf beat a golf....


Who's sour? I don't give a toss either way! Not only that, but I have owned a Renaultsport car, a Golf and have a Leon en route as I type, so I can hardly be biased towards any of them...

The Renault driver gets an extra 1000 Internets for changing his own gears.

36K for the megane and if you want the exact same spec as the ring car then it will cost 40k+

I know, but then it's one of 30 to come to the UK and for the sum of its parts and knowing it'll be a depreciation-proof car - you'd swallow it. If you want that kind of thing, which not everyone does.

The sensible money will buy the normal 275 Trophy at normal Renault discounts (big) and cherry pick the options.

Or the SEAT, or the Type R, or whatever comes next....
Sideways yo!

Concepts are always a bit garish, but in principle, that's a very interesting car  :happy2:

You would think for that kind of money, you could get the bonnet lined up correctly :P

They had it on display at the Pageant of Power last weekend. I walked past it three times thinking it was some kind of off road racer . I dont know whether it was the colour but it didnt look sporty, I kept thinking it looked like a Berghaus walking boot.   :laugh:
