The Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix provided a backdrop for the first sighting of the all-new Megane Renault Sport driven by Renault Sport F1 Team driver Nico Hülkenberg.

To meet customer demand, All-New Megane Renault Sport will be offered with a choice of manual or EDC (Efficient Dual Clutch) transmissions.

“I don’t think we could have chosen a more appropriate or more impactful moment than the 40th anniversary of Renault’s involvement in F1 to launch a new model, said Patrice Ratti, Managing Director of Renault Sport Cars.

"We aim to make All-New Mégane R.S. the new compact sports car benchmark.”

Nico Hülkenberg provided a glimpse of the All-New Mégane Renault Sport on the track at Monaco but it was not his first time behind the wheel, as he explains: “I got an opportunity to test All-New Mégane R.S. during its development and I was hooked first time out by the excellence of its chassis."

"Renault Sport has done a tremendous job on its performance credentials. It was a huge pleasure to drive it around the legendary street track at Monaco today”.

The all-New Megane Renault Sport will be unveiled at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show on 12th September, before going on sale in 2018.
