It is a cool looking hot hatchback. Too bad it isn't sold in America.

Megane RS Clubsport competition

The Clubsport looks from the outside like the normal Megane RS all changes are done inside!
The Clubsort sit on the same wheels like the RS but with semi slicks, it has no rear seats but a roll cage like the one in the old Megane R26.R, Recaro seats at the front, it has the Megane RS Cup pack with differential lock, little bit more power thanks to changed motor managment and exhust and new suspension from KW with changed race like mountings (uniball connections) and a changed negative camber (normal Megane RS Cup -0.5°, the Clubsport has -3.0° negative camber at the front axle), the rear axle is untouched. The brake is untouched only fitted with different brake pads (Endless).

The Megane RS Clubsport is a idea of Renault Motorsportcoordinator Huetter from 2010. The cars are build in Germany by a Renault shop near the northloop all based on the Megane RS Cup. The cars are build up under VLN northloop race class V2T for 2011, the cars are completely street legal and run on street legal semi slicks... more amazingly is the price... 35,000Euro(incl tax) for a street legal ready to race car.
