Mégane Renaultsport is powering on from the success of the multi award-winning 250 range with a new and improved model for 2012, packing more power and torque.

Open for customer ordering from today, Renault's new performance flagships, Mégane Renaultsport 265 Cup and 265 are priced £24,825 and £26,025 on-the-road.

The key improvement on the second phase of the French brand's halo model is a 15hp hike on its predecessor, plus an extra 20Nm torque, both released through the car's Renaultsport Dynamic Management programme.
