OVERVIEW
Rarely are cars that claim a ‘sports’ pedigree quite so polished at gripping the road as this phenomenal pocket rocket.
The new limited edition front-wheel drive Megane RS 275 Trophy is for people who like to drive fast.
But, of course, there are plenty of fast cars around. What sets this latest version of the Megane apart from other sports cars out there is the precise manner in which you can drive it.
There are very few hot hatches on planet earth with a more accurate and self-assured steering rack and chassis as this.
