Renault Megane RS 280 Cup launched in Malaysia with MT variant going for almost RM280k | SoyaCincau.com

Renault has just launched the latest Renault Megane RS 280 Cup in Malaysia, having previewed the hot hatch back in April. Now, the RS will come in a 5-door variant, as opposed to the previousversion. Based on its price , it seems that the Megane RS will compete against the Honda City Type R and the Volkswagen’s Golf Type R, with prices to match.

A 4-cyclinder 1.8-litre turbocharged engine has a maximum power output of 280PS, along with a peak torque of 390Nm—this is paired to a six-speed Efficient Dual Clutch gearbox, although enthusiasts will be pleased to know that there will be a 6-speed manual variant as well.As per usual, the Megane RS 280 Cup will be fitted with an independent steering-axis front suspension, with the front suspension having been adapted for front-wheel-drive cars for more precision.

In Race and Sport modes, the Megane will allow its driver to down-shift multiple gears by simply holding the left paddle, with the optimum gear then chosen to exit a corner automatically . This is in addition to a Launch Control feature that helps simulate a standing start like that of a race car.

Pricing for Peninsular Malaysia will start at RM279,888 for the manual variant, while the EDC variant will start at RM299,888. If you purchase the car in Langkawi, the prices will be from RM149,888 and RM159,888 respectively.
