Something new is in town, and it was snapped by reader David Foo in PJ recently. These pics show two units of the Renault Megane RS turning into what looks like TC Euro Cars’ PJ headquarters. Plenty to spot here, but we should focus on the black car.
The yellow contrasting paint on the rear diffuser and wing mirrors, plus a Red Bull Racing sticker on the lower half of the front door marks it out as the limited edition Renault Megane RS Red Bull Racing RB7. Besides those already pointed out, the RB7 also gets a chequered-flag pattern decal on the roof and a unique gear knob. Since it’s a limited edition, you’ll get a numbered plaque too.
The F1-themed RB7 is based on the latest Megane RS 265 Cup, which as its name denotes, makes 265 PS, 15 horses more than the RS 250. At 360 Nm, max torque is also 20 Nm up on the RS 250. However, the extra 15 ponies only come out to play when one selects Sport mode, which deactivates the new Stop&Start system.
Speaking of the regular Megane RS 265 Cup, we could be already looking at it. The wheels on the yellow car in the pics are different from what’s on the RS 250. Launch is imminent.

If proton can make a car like this.. Meh, jaguh kampung. Proton worshippers, please dislike my comment. Because of this company, malaysians need to pay exorbitant price & taxes for cars.
Yes, totally agree with Joanna on this one. Please vote wisely so I can buy this car at RM2,888. You belum ubah, belum tahu mah. Without kroni, sure RM2,888. Please vote wisely.
Hehehe i dislike ur comment together with ur typo partner joanna,, hehehehe belum cuba belum tau?? we all tau oredy the family cronism, nepotisme practiced by all pakatan top leader, my vote goes to barisan
Mehh, u sure ka???
Sarcasm? Or a sheer stupidity?
Wrong. Proton might very well have been introduced as a scapegoat for insane taxes. Keep in mind that Proton is taxed the same as every other ASEAN produced car, like for example the Toyota Vios. I repeat: Same taxes. The Preve CFE costs like 37k to produce, the rest of the price is _tax_.
The one to blame is the government, for whom the taxes are a huge income they can’t do without (if they would do without, prepare to lose the affordable health care and other benefits… and prepare to see some poor politicians).
If i not mistaken, the RS265 got black colour door handle for all colour option and 6 DRL LED Bulb per side (3 Bulp for RS250). Love this car, even the new batch of Renault production line-up already have big and bold Renault Logo in front of the hood, the Megane still used the same old size.
Renault Megane RS 265.
Wait! Let me guess the horsepower of the car. Is it 265 hp?
Did you even read the whole article or just read the title only……
Actually, he’s right.
Are Renault Megane RS and VW Scirocco considered as sports car or just a normal coupe?
Neither of those. Those categorise as Hot Hatch. The same story as the Ford Focus ST.
neither they’re hot hatches…
Indeed it was 265bhp. this model that currently hold a record of fastest front wheel drive production car at the nurburgring.
no price yet?
beautiful..but megane F1 team R26 is still my favorite of all time
No second hand value like other french car. Good for my 2nd hand business.
Nice TCEAS… now could you PLEASE bring in the _AFFORDABLE_ Renaults? You know, that is what the company is known for. Good, safe and affordable cars. The RS line is just a toy for them, something to show off and to brag with. Perhaps create desire for their REGULAR cars.
And don’t tell me you don’t want to hurt the Nissan sales. That’s like saying Zonda would hurt Rolls Royce sales. I doubt it, they are going after very different markets. People who would buy a Clio would probably never even think about getting an Almera. They’d be thinking about the Polo, Fiesta and perhaps Rio. Who would consider getting an Almera would probably also be looking at Vios and City.
Do it, before you close down all the existing Renault SC because you haven’t brought in enough cars to keep them alive!
Believe me these Megane RS are fantastic performance cars. Last Sunday we went from JB to Mersing. Cornering and bumpy roads and these Meganes’ with Singapore plates,about 6 of them just ‘flew by’ all Malaysian cars. For those who can afford these cars lucky you. You don’t need a Ferrari with these Meganes’ around.
I was told by Renault (TC Eurocars) salesman the ‘regular’ Megane RS265 cup will retail at RM240,888
