By taking Megane Renault Sport Coupe and refining its sleek lines, Renault’s designers have come up with a racing saloon with a silhouette resembling the awesome German touring.
Based on the V6 unit fitted to Vel Satis, the powerplant has been developed in collaboration with Nismo, Nissan’s motorsport department, and adapted for competition to produce over 320 bhp, featuring a semi-dry sump. Trackside, all maintenance and technical assistance will be provided by Solution F.
For electronic management, Renault Sport enlisted the services of Magnetti-Marelli. The result is a brand new unit that includes all engine, gearbox and automatic clutch management functions. It also provides a data acquisition function, an essential element that will enable drivers and engineers to unleash every horse under the bonnet.
Next spring, around 30 Megane Trophy will be lining up on the grid as one of the star attractions of the World Series by Renault, alongside the New Formula Renault V6. For the 2005 season, eight European race meetings and 16 races are on the agenda, with tightly regulated testing and tire usage in order to limit the costs to teams, always a core concern for Renault Sport.
