2018款雷诺梅甘娜RS主要竞争车型是大众高尔夫R，最近谍照记者拍到了该车照片，这款梅甘娜顶级款将配备全轮驱动系统。梅甘娜RS将标配前轮驱动，但可选装全轮驱动。雷诺内部人士两个月前透露，新款梅甘娜RS将标配前轮驱动。但车厂其他人士对媒体表示，该车将提供全轮驱动。实在是不知道到底该信谁的，或许两者都有。这次拍到的谍照是一辆测试车，该车基于梅甘娜GT，但采用了中置双排气尾管。但原来的侧排气管还在那里，两侧是假的散流器。另外，该车轮拱中部增加了灰色塑料防擦条，这表明新车轮距进一步增加，或许该车配备了全轮驱动。与前代车型只提供三门轿跑车造型不同，新车这次只提供五门掀背车造型。新车将搭载新的2.0升涡轮汽油引擎，只搭配取自日产370Z的降档转速匹配技术六速手动变速器。同时该车可选装四轮转向技术。从最近披露的文件看，该车将于明年9月发布。
2018 Renault Megane RS might get AWD, here's why
Renault was actually benchmarking the 2018 Megane RS against the all-paw Volkswagen Golf R, and these latest images come to fuel (pun intended) those rumors about the new range-topping Megane getting an all-wheel-drive setup.
The Megane RS with a standard FWD layout and also with the option of AWD. That being said, a Renault insider revealed a couple of months ago the new model will stick to its regular FWD setup, while another source within the company told Auto Express it will go AWD, so we don’t know what to believe at this point. Perhaps both?
Just like on previous occasions, the vehicle spotted is actually a test mule based on the Megane GT, but with the dual tips mounted in the middle. As you can easily observe, the side exhaust finishers are in their regular place flanking the faux diffuser, but the actual tips are no longer there.
Another clue about the Megane RS going AWD might be found on those wheel arches where there are some grey plastic add-ons. Those could be a sign of extended tracks for the hot hatch, something that an AWD-equipped Megane RS might have.
Set to be offered only with five doors (unlike the previous three-door coupe-only model), the all-new Megane RS will allegedly feature a new turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine. It will reportedly be linked exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission benefitting from rev-matching tech borrowed from the Nissan 370Z. A four-wheel steering setup will be offered as optional equipment.
Based on a leaked internal document published by automotive tipster Ferd, the next Megane RS is going to be launched in September 2017.
