Welcome Inside the Brand-New Renault Megane RS Trophy Car

I am thrilled to welcome you inside the brand-new Renault Megane RS trophy car that I have been given for two weeks. As I speak, it's already become an integral part of my life, and I must say, I've fallen in love with this car even more than I expected. Unfortunately, I've been feeling a bit under the weather lately, but I managed to muster up enough energy to get out of bed and film this video today. The excitement of driving this car is not only thrilling but also brings back memories of my teenage years, driving like a hooligan with my friends.

I recently had the opportunity to test drive this trophy model on a mountain pass, specifically the Albaugh pass, which is located just outside of Under Matt. This was my first drive of the summer, and I couldn't think of anything better to do than bring this car up here. The power of this car is still the same as its predecessor, with a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine that produces 300 horsepower and 400 Newton meters of torque. As a fan of manual hot hatches, I was eager to experience the thrill of driving this car on twisty roads.

The trophy model has some notable upgrades over the original RS model. One of the first things that caught my attention was the new Recaro bucket seats. Not only do they look incredible, but they also provide an added level of comfort and support. The previous version had slightly lower seats, which meant you sat 20 millimeters closer to the floor. For me, this is a game-changer alone – the seats are well worth upgrading to get the trophy model.

Another significant upgrade is the exhaust system, which provides an incredibly loud and obnoxious sound that's music to my ears. The previous version barely made a peep, but now this car can produce some serious bangs and pops when you downshift or come off the gas. I must admit, I'm obsessed with the noise this car produces – it's like nothing else out there. When I drove through a tunnel recently, the exhaust sounded so loud that it was almost deafening.

Under the hood, we have an 1.8-liter turbocharged engine that may not produce a lot of raw power, but it certainly makes up for it with its sound and responsiveness. The manual transmission is, of course, the right choice for me – it's what I've always loved about hot hatches. When you're driving like a maniac with your foot flat down everywhere, there's nothing quite like the feeling of being in complete control of the car.

But what really sets this trophy model apart is its handling and performance. With four-wheel steering, this car becomes even more agile and fun to drive on twisty roads. I was blown away by how well it handled hairpin bends – it's almost impossible to screw up a corner with this car. The four-wheel steering works so seamlessly that you'll feel like a pro driver in no time.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm a huge fan of hot hatches. There's something about the thrill of driving one that just can't be beat. It's not about being flashy or loud; it's about the pure joy of driving a car that responds to your every touch on the wheel. When you put your foot flat down, there's no need to worry about speed limits or safety – you're in the zone.

In conclusion, I have to say that this trophy model has exceeded my expectations in every way. It's fast, it's fun, and it's just plain exciting to drive. With its four-wheel steering, improved exhaust system, and Recaro bucket seats, this car is a serious contender in the hot hatch market. If you're looking for a driving experience that will put a smile on your face every time you get behind the wheel, look no further than the Renault Megane RS trophy model.
