Renault Megane RS 280 Cup Real World Review

We drive the latest Renaultsport RS Megane around the real British road giving the car real hard push to see if it can knock the new Civic Type R off it’s perch!

Can the new Renault Megane RS 280 equipped with cup pack kick the civic little ass??? Watch on to hear our thoughts.

Please note from time to time we get things wrong and we did with the suspension a little - see below -

The car’s chassis features a set of hydraulic suspension bump stops. This isn’t the first Renault Sport product to use the latter. Described by the company as "a damper within a damper", the hydraulic suspension bump stops are independent fluid-filled shock absorbers that sit on the lower end of the front and rear suspension struts. And while they’re commonly fitted to rally cars and the new Mégane uses them at all four corners, the current Clio RS uses them too (on the front axle only).

Having experimented with adaptive dampers too, Renault’s conclusion was that it could achieve better dynamic performance by combining a good, well-tuned passive damper with a hydraulic bump stop than by spending the equivalent on an adaptive damper.
