Mégane RS

The Mégane RS is available in three-door and five-door hatchback versions, both with the same engine and it is built in Renault's Dieppe factory, which is where most of their special and race cars are made (like the Clio V6, 5 Turbo, Spyder and Alpine A610 / A110). The Mégane Renault Sport 225 uses innovative double-axis strut suspension with independent steering axis at the front, with electric power steering that reduces its influence as speeds increase.
