Megane 265 trophy

[Paul]

I heard the recovery lorry passed Mike on the long straight. Heard he was doing a crazy 53mph. The truck that is, mike pushin 30 tops.

LOL!!! :thumbup:

 

[Gazeratti]

If they are bringing a more powerful car out will be good news for me next year the 250's will come down in price lol

 

[daz]

Is this the Trophy with 265bhp under the bonnet...?

 

[Paul]

Well it is official.... And I want one....

[daz]

Even at £28K mrrp?

 

[Paul]

Yeah, even at £28k....

It is the one car I always wanted Ren to do - a LY 250 - the bonus with this one is a bit more power

 

[jase]

Drove a meg250 on Saturday at FCS... God damn they are quick.

 

[Paul]

They really are aren't they Jase, a lot less dramatic than the Clio though!

 

[Foxspeed]

i would seriously consider fitting some different wheels :eek:

Would you want to swap... (if only they fit )

 

[Robo_#1]

Looks amazing, I'll echo what jade said, i drove one round silverstone and it was astonishingly quick. But a little numb compared to the clio which I jumped straight back into lol.

does anyone not find it depressing that its only a 15bhp increase on a turbo lump?

 

[dangerdaz]

I find it depressing they use those awful 19s..

Was just about to say the same adam, doesn't seem like much of an upgrade on the 250, was expecting more! Plus its got some seriously ugly wheels and decals

I'll give you that one Ben, it does seem a little like a bells and whistles edition. When I heard trophy I expected upgraded suspension and handling TBH. Personally I think it looks great though, and the car its based on is VERY good.

Less than a week now before you see this

 

[Graeme GTR]

could be based on RS N4, 265BHP/ 470Nm Torque. =D

never quoted myself before :s

probably tuned for torque

its only a "peak" power quote - you need to see the rest of the power graph - could be massive gains in the mid-range (ie real world driving zone)

 

[Gazeratti]

R.S's have never been about overall power, there all about the overall all experence. Look how the Megane dancers over the Focus RS, Astra VXR with more power then it. Powers all right if it can put it on the road

 

[Paul]

Did I mention it is also LY!?!?!?!?!

:thumbup:
