Mégane Estate GT Tce 180 (France, 2010)

Developed with the help of Renault Sport Technologies, the French brand launched in 2010 two new sporting versions of the New Mégane: the GT and GT Line. The two lines are available in all body types that are part of the Mégane family: Hatchback, Coupé, Estate and Coupé-Cabriolet.

Besides the distinctive style these new versions offer increased performance to the Mégane and close the gap between the mainstream model and the performance credentials of Mégane R.S.

The GT version combines sporty exterior and interior details with a specifically-tuned chassis which is inspirited on the Mégane R.S. The 2.0 TCe180 and 2.0 dCi 160 engines power Mégane’s GT version.

Both the GT ant GT Line feature a bumper that has received a reshaped central air intake incorporating a gloss black centre section that supports the registration plate. The foglamps are housed in profiled, dark metal-coloured recesses on either side of the bumper. At the rear end the lower section of the rear bumper incorporates an aerodynamic diffuser.

Many details incorporated in the GT Line and the GT versions are shared with the Mégane R.S. For example the front seats with additional lateral support on the seat back and cushion, the aluminium-faced pedal set and the dashboard which incorporates analogue rev-counter.

The GT versions are 'GT' badged on the grille and 'GT Renault Sport' badged on the tailgate. They are fitted with 18-inch Dark Metal-coloured Jetow aluminium wheels. The ‘GT’ badge also features inside on the dashboard trim strip and front head rests. The ‘Renault Sport’ branding appears on the door sills.

The GT version is powered by the Mégane range's more potent, more exclusive powerplants for increased performance. In the GT version customers are able to choose between two turbocharged engines: the petrol TCe 180 or the diesel dCi 160.
