雷诺近日在法兰克福车展发布了全新2018款梅甘娜RS。该车核心是一台1.8升涡轮增压汽油引擎，它采用直喷技术，替代了老款的2.0升涡轮引擎，最大功率205千瓦/280马力，在梅甘娜历史上，这款车首次可提供六速手动或双离合器自动变速器（集成换挡拨片和起动控制）两种选择。如果想要动力更强劲的，还可以选择梅甘娜RSTrophy版本，该车将于明年上市，其功率略微增至224千瓦/300马力。雷诺没有公布这两款车的加速时间和最高时速，不过Trophy版本有望今年12月发布。为了提升前驱车型的操控性，需要升级底盘和转向机械结构。为此，雷诺为这款车提供了专属配置——4Control四轮转向系统和前后液压压缩制动。此外，该车还提供了Cup和Sport两种底盘设置，其中前者还提供了限滑差速器。为了提升制动力，该车前轮采用355毫米刹车盘和Brembo卡钳，也可选装双材质铸铁和铝制刹车盘。这款五门掀背车还提供了雷诺的多感应系统，可让驾驶员选择五种模式，包括舒适、正常、运动、赛车和Pro模式，使之比前款车型更适合日常行驶。这款车还提供了一席辅助驾驶和安全系统，包括自适应巡航控制及主动紧急制动，车道偏离警示，盲点警示，倒车摄像头和驻车辅助。雷诺将于明年初开始在欧洲接受2018款梅甘娜RS订单。
2018 Renault Megane RS Debuts With More Power, New Technologies
Following countless spy photos and leaks, the all new, 2018 Renault Megane RS is finally making its world debut at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Let’s start with the important numbers – the 1.8-liter turbocharged gas motor with direct injection, that replaces the old 2.0 turbo, provides a peak power of 280 horsepower (205 kilowatts). For the first time in the history of the model, it will be offered with either a six-speed manual or a dual-clutch six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and launch control.
If you want even more power, you can go for the Megane RS Trophy version, which will reach the market before the end of next year with slightly increased output of 300 hp (224 kW). Acceleration and top speed numbers are yet to be revealed for both the standard and the Trophy variants, likely to happen in December this 2017.
To control all that power with only front-wheel drive, you’ll definitely need some help from the chassis and the steering mechanism. Given that, the engineers of the brand have given the new RS two features that are unique to its segment – the 4Control four-wheel steering system, and front and rear hydraulic compression stops. In addition, two chassis setups will be available – Cup and Sport, with limited slip differential offered for the former.
Stopping power is provided by standard 355-millimeter front discs with Brembo calipers, which can be replaced by optional bi-material cast iron and aluminum discs. Available only as a five-door hatchback, the new Megane RS comes equipped with Renault’s Multi-Sense system, which gives the driver a choice of five driving modes – Comfort, Normal, Sport, Race, and Pro, making the car even more suitable for everyday use than ever before.
An array of assist and safety systems, including adaptive cruise control with active emergency braking, lane departure warning, blind spot warning, reversing camera, and park assist, also improves its usability in all types of situations.
Order books for the model will open across most of the European markets in early 2018.
