Renault: The best often comes at the end

The special edition Ultime will replace the Megane R.S. and R.S. Trophy models from spring onwards - virtually as the crowning glory of a three-generation model series that started in 2003. The Megane R.S. Ultime is also the last model to bear the Renault Sport logo. Future Renault Group sports models will bear the tradition-steeped Alpine name.

Production from 1976 to 2023

The model's hallmarks are graphic elements inspired by the new Renault logo on the roof, hood, rear bumper, doors and fenders. Their matte black appearance harmonizes with the body colors Black Pearl Black, Pearl White, Sirius Yellow and Tonic Orange.

Another special detail: On the right side of the vehicle, the founding year of Renault Sport, 1976, is engraved into the stripping. By limiting the special series to 1976 vehicles, Renault pays tribute to the starting point of this era.

Black accents in the center

The fenders are 60 millimeters wider at the front and 45 millimeters wider at the rear than on the standard version, giving the car a special appearance. There are also many details in black: logos, door handles, rear diffuser and window surrounds, as well as wheels and wheel nuts.

Another exclusive feature is the Ultime lettering on the front bumper in R.S. design. The side air outlets and auxiliary headlights in the chequered flag design also have a dynamic look. Standard equipment includes Recaro sports seats with black Alcantara upholstery and embroidered R.S. monogram.

Semi-slicks Bridgestone Potenza S007

The Megane R.S. Ultime is powered by the familiar turbo two-liter with 420 Nm and 300 hp. The four-cylinder combined with the 6-speed dual-clutch transmission accelerates the Frenchman from a standstill to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds. Bridgestone Potenza S007 semi-slick tires, 19-inch wheels, Brembo composite brake discs with red calipers and 4Control all-wheel steering complete the standard dynamic package.
