Megane GT unveiled

TC Euro Cars, the sole franchise holder of Renault vehicles in Malaysia, has previewed the new Megane GT.

The Megane GT is touted to offer a whole new world of driving thrills and sportiness by providing an intermediate performance road car offering to the all-out high performance credentials of Megane R.S. Renault

Sport technologies’ engineers have fine-tuned the suspension of the new Megan

GT to deliver a spirited ride that is still suited to everyday motoring.

The technologies they have adopted, including the 4CONTROL system (four-wheel steering) that allows the rear wheels to turn up to 2.7-degrees in the opposite direction of the front wheels at speeds of up to 60kph and 80kph when in Sport mode. Beyond those speeds, the r ar wheels turn in the same ection as the front wheels, up .0-degree. he 4CONTROL system calcuates the angle of the rear wheels 100 times a second and adjus s them as necessary.

Power comes from a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine providing 205PS at 6,000rpm and 280Nm of torque from 2,400rpm onwards, while managed by a seven-speed EDC dual-clutch

atic transmission.

In terms of fit and finish, the Megane GT comes with two chrome-plated exhaust tips, a rear diffuser inspired from the world of Formula 1, LED front headlights, GT and Renault Sport badges and 17-inch wheels.
