There was talk about the next Renault Megane RS coming in with an AWD system but it looks like that is not where Renault plans to go with the next gen Megane RS.
Renault has recently revealed that they have every intention to compete with the Volkswagen Golf GTi Clubsport S for the front-wheel drive Nurburgring record which means the new model will coming riding on a front-wheel drive system.
We know that the Renault Megane RS they have now is already pushing out about 300hp and it is highly possibly that the upcoming new model will be offering more than 300hp when it arrives.
Renault also added that the 2018 model will be coming with an upgraded exterior design and that they will only be offering the five-door model only. Besides the double-clutch gearbox, a manual transmission might also be offered as well so that is good news for manual stick lovers.
