What Features Does The Renault Mégane RS 300 Trophy Have?
The Renault Mégane RS 300 Trophy has returned to South Africa, albeit in a limited availability, it’s one hot French hatch that combines breathtaking performance with everyday practicality. This front-wheel drive pocket rocket has some amazing specs, features and must-haves that a car enthusiast could want.
Here’s the lowdown on what you need to know when it comes to the Mégane RS 300 Trophy.
Performance Details
This too-hot-to-handle racy number’s appeal lies ultimately in its performance ability. With a mighty 1.8-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that churns out 296hp and can go from 0-62mph in just 5.7 seconds, there is nothing ordinary about driving a Mégane RS Trophy.
The car’s roaring engine sends 221kW and 420Nm to the front axle through a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission gearbox, which provides lightning-quick shifts when you need it.
There are five selectable modes on the Mégane RS, namely Comfort, Neutral, Sport, Race and Personal (which is a customisable driving mode).
In addition, the Mégane’s clever 4Control improves both high-speed stability and low-speed manoeuvring.
The Mégane RS 300 Trophy comes standard with a Cup chassis specially tuned for sporting performance. Equipped with a limited-slip differential, the Cup chassis allows for excellent traction and control, regardless of grip conditions or driving style.

Thrilling Looks And Interior Comfort
The Mégane RS Trophy turns heads thanks to its aggressive stance, massive 19-inch alloys, Formula 1-inspired front blade, and stylish LED lighting. Besides the Pearl White option, you can choose from eye-catching colours – namely Liquid Yellow or Trophy Orange.
The interior features race-style bucket seats, Alcantara upholstery and RS badging throughout as well as a sporty leather-trimmed steering wheel.
Despite its focus on performance, the Mégane RS Trophy remains a usable five-door hatchback. The well-shaped boot has 377 litres of capacity to easily swallow luggage or shopping. The cabin is comfortable and practical thanks to Recaro sports seats, climate control, and the latest touchscreen infotainment (complete with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality) with smartphone integration.

Track-Ready Features
Renault Sport has optimised the Mégane RS Trophy for the occasional track day. Brembo brakes provide serious stopping power after high-speed track runs. Again, the mechanical limited-slip differential enhances grip and agility through tight corners.
In addition, the RS Monitor analyses your driving style and provides telemetry style data like torque distribution and acceleration times. A precise and weighted steering system provides loads of feedback for pushing to the limit.
The hatchback’s new dual sound exhaust valve system ultimately allows the engine’s sporty and acoustic potential to be fully expressed.
Owning the magnificent Renault Mégane RS Trophy provides the total hot hatch experience, and its long list of fantastic specs, and features, makes this the ultimate driver’s car.
