Renault Megane RS N4 – tarmac rally package

Wanna take your Renault Megane RS 250 rallying? Renault now has a Group N tarmac rally package for privateers and trainers for sale that effectively turns your hot hatch Megane into the Renault Megane RS N4.

The 2.0 litre turbo engine gets boosted up to 270 PS and 470Nm, up from the standard 250 PS and 340Nm. Not a whole lot of extra power but gobs of extra torque. An Ohlins suspension kit is also included, along with a roll bar and Sabelt 6-point harness racing seats.

The package also includes some weight reduction but the details released so far does not reveal how much – both in terms of weight and price tag!

      The Neo Rally uses a 1.8 liter Renault Laguna engine stroked to 2.0. I doubt it is the same engine.

    Between RS and Sciroco, i hardly choose one of them, cause both are sexy and garang. Like choose among megan fox and katy perry.

      N4 is where most of the engine and running gear was stock as factory unit….power bump from electronic and cooling upgrade benefits…

      as if we refer to FIA regulation….fully homologated group N car must as close as possible to factory car..only safety and handling part can be altered…..

      while neo S2000 was one-off(prototype) car before full fledge s2000+ format used in WRC…

    the main differences are, this is still a Group N car or sometimes known as a production race vehicle. whereas the NEo is an S2000 category car which is a more focused vehicle in terms of build and specifications. the rules that govern them are different. anyone can build any of these type of cars based on FIA regulations which are there to ensure as even a playing field as possible from car to car. but the manufacturers need to undergo FIA homologation before the cars can be officially recognised as such.
