Renault presents Mégane R.S. N4

Renault Sport has presented a new rally car based on the Mégane Renaultsport. The N4 now takes the acclaimed quality chassis and engine of the Mégane R.S. to the rallies with private teams and drivers as intended customers.

Renault Sport Technologies, the only manufacturer to offer a full ‘rally’ range based on group R regulations, developed the Mégane Renaultsport N4 to race on asphalt and hopes to establish new standards with it.

With group N regulations imposing strict rules on the modifications that can be made to the original car, the Renaultsport N4 gets the full benefit of the technology used on the production model.

Thanks to the PerfoHub independent steering-axis front suspension design, engineers developed a chassis that combines traction, directional stability and driving comfort in complete safety. By using three-way adjustable shock absorbers the Renaultsport N4 can be adapted to all types of driving style.

The Mégane Renaulsport N4 is powered by a 2.0-litre 16V turbo engine, which has been tuned with an optimised electronic engine control system. The engine develops 265 hp of power and torque of 470 Nm, and is fitted with a five-speed H-pattern gearbox, developed specifically for this purpose.

The goal of Renault Sport Technologies was to make Mégane Renaultsport N4 accessible to all drivers, and be both easy to handle and economical to run. The Renaultsport N4 will be sold by Renault Sport Technologies in the form of a kit comprising all the specific parts.
