The RS has always been regarded as the most powerful Megane ever produced, being initially launched in 2004 but upgraded in 2006 in order to follow the same design as the contemporary basic Megane.
More powerful than the GT edition of the car, the RS comes with a 2.0-liter 16V Turbo engine which could produce no less than 225 horsepower, which means the car could reach a top speed of 235 km/h with a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 6.5 seconds. The RS, which actually stands for Renault Sport, competes with a couple of other sport cars, including Golf GTI, Opel Astra OPC, Ford Focus ST and Honda Civic Type-R.
