雷诺预计将在今年九月的法兰克福车展发布梅甘娜RS量产版车型，该车随后将于今年底或明年初上市。最重要的问题是，这款车将采用前驱还是全驱？最新拍到的照片并没有透露任何线索显示该车将采用全驱，因此新车仍可能坚持前驱设置。几个月前有报道称，这款五门车型将搭载新开发的2.0升涡轮汽油引擎。这台引擎功率约为300马力，搭配日产370Z采用降档转速匹配技术的六速手动变速器。如果愿意多掏钱，还可以选装采用起步控制系统的双离合器自动变速器。虽然梅甘娜GT标配四轮转向，而RS则将该项配置作为选装件。据传该车将配备带有“Sport”、“Cup”和“Trophy”模式的悬挂设置，另外还可选装自适应减震。

 

2018 Renault Megane RS spied testing underneath GT body

The Megane RS is expected to bow in full production guise in September this year . It probably means Renault will officially introduce the range-topping version at the Frankfurt Motor Show ahead of a market launch set for late 2017 / early 2018.

 

The million-dollar question is: front- or all-wheel-drive? The latest prototype doesn’t have any clues that would indicate the implementation of an all-paw setup, so chances are the next Megane RS will stick to its FWD setup. Based on a report from a few months ago, the five-door-only model will make use of a newly developed 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine.

 

In charge of sending roughly 300 horsepower to the front axle will be an adaptation of the Nissan 370Z’s six-speed manual gearbox featuring rev-matching tech. At an additional cost, buyers will be able to opt for a dual-clutch, automatic transmission set to employ a launch control system.

 

While the Megane GT has four-wheel steering as standard (and you can’t ask Renault to remove it), the RS will have the system available as optional kit to allow the buyers decide whether it's worth the extra weight or not. The rumor mill is indicating Sport, Cup and Trophy suspension setups are on the agenda, along with optional adaptive dampers.
