First unveiled at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, New Renault Megane RS has been eagerly awaited by sports driving enthusiasts. Aiming to become - like its predecessors - a benchmark in the C segment hot hatch market, this third generation of Megane RS is packed full of Renault Sport expertise and passion. Driven by its powerful design and focused on performance, New Renault Megane RS makes no attempt to hide its motorsport pedigree, offering outstanding driving pleasure on the road and on the track.
Featuring a completely revised, more user-friendly layout and offering extended functionalities, the telemetry and data acquisition system R.S. Monitor provides New Megane RS drivers with a new experience. There are two options for the system. Available when ordering the vehicle, R.S. Monitor gathers and summarises information from forty or so sensors spread around the car. It is therefore possible to display a wide range of vehicle settings in real time on the R-Link 2 touchscreen tablet: acceleration, braking, steering wheel angle, operation of the 4CONTROL system, temperatures and pressures, etc. Unprecedented in the segment, R.S. Monitor Expert lets you film your driving sessions and then overlay telemetry data, in order to obtain superb augmented reality videos. These videos enhance the New Renault Megane RS driver experience and can be instantly shared on social media using applications available for iOS and Android smartphones. And if you want to go even further with R.S. Monitor Expert, the recorded data may be exported to the R.S. Replay website. You can then play back your driving sessions, analyse your laps down to the very last detail and compare them with other users from the Renault Sport community.
