STORY

The Renault Megane is a C-segment family car launched in 1995 and now in its fourth generation, offered over the years as a hatchback, saloon, estate, coupe-cabriolet and the striking Megane II with its distinctive rump. It is best known for the Renault Sport hot hatches, which repeatedly set front-wheel-drive lap records at the Nurburgring, including the RS 265 and RS 275 Trophy-R.
