RB8 Limited edition

RED BULL

AN UNBEATABLE COMBINATION

THE MEGANE R.S. 265 RED BULL RB8 LIMITED EDITION CELEBRATES THE SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP OF RENAULT SPORT AND RED BULL RACING IN THE PINNACLE OF MOTORSPORT – FORMULA ONE®. THIS PARTNERSHIP HAS RESULTED IN BACK-TO-BACK WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES AND A WEALTH OF HIGH PERFORMANCE EXPERTISE.

The new Mégane R.S. 265 Red Bull is a testament to the successful collaboration between two legendary names in F1® racing. Its exterior design takes inspiration from the iconic Red Bull Racing F1® race car, which is powered by an acclaimed Renault engine that has seen more first places on the F1® podium than the competition cares to count.

The Mégane R.S. 265 Red Bull promises true sports car performance thanks to an impressive list of innovations developed by the Renault Sport team on the F1® track. With these advanced technologies incorporated into every Mégane R.S., it’s no wonder our hot-hatch is world-renowned for its dynamic sports styling and exhilarating power. The limited edition exterior

boasts a unique body colour, F1® design cues, limited edition branded elements and world-record-holding performance tyres.

The Mégane R.S. 265 Red Bull is the first Renault Sport model in Australia to showcase the innovative new R-Link Enhanced Audio and Navigation system with R.S. Monitor 2.0 for concert quality sound, simple navigation and real-time driving information, displayed and controlled effortlessly via a 7" touch-screen. Features that combine to create a truly advanced and sophisticated high performance vehicle. Mégane R.S. 265 Red Bull numbers are limited to just 120 in Australia, so make sure you get your hands on one of these rare models.

WINNING DESIGN

Its unique Dusk Blue limited edition pearlescent body colour is adorned with subtle Red Bull Racing insignia and offset with platinum grey exterior highlights including front bumper, door mirrors and rear spoiler. LED daytime running lights set into the front bumper increase visibility. The exclusive black 19" STEEV alloy rims with aluminium border are wrapped in high performance Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tyres, the same as those used by the Mégane R.S. 265 Trophy 8:08 to set a world record on the infamous Nürburgring racetrack.

Inside the sleek cabin you’ll find technology and comfort working in perfect unison. The 7" touch- screen display set into the dash is your hub for audio, driving performance information, Bluetooth® phone connectivity and navigation functions.

Renault’s incredible new R-Link Enhanced Audio and Navigation System with Red Bull interface lets you customise your home screen and even control the functions by voice command.

Unmistakably sporty throughout, the Renault Sport embossed RECARO® leather front bucket seats with red seatbelts hold you firmly in supreme comfort while cornering and accelerating. The accelerator, brake and clutch pedals are forged from aluminium for an authentic racing feel. An individually numbered plaque mounted on the unique Red Bull door sill kick plates is your assurance that, like all high achievers, your Mégane R.S. 265 Red Bull is one of a very select few.

FROM ITS PLATINUM GREY REAR SPOILER TO ITS BLACK ALLOY WHEEL RIMS, THE MEGANE R.S. 265 RED BULL RB8 LIMITED EDITION SHOWS OFF RENAULT SPORT’S RACING CREDENTIALS.

POLE PERFORMANCE

The Renault Sport Mégane R.S. 265 Red Bull RB8 Limited Edition is bred to provide breathtaking performance on the road and the racetrack. Following in the footsteps of the previous Mégane R.S. Red Bull, it is powered by Renault Sport’s renowned 2.0L turbo-charged petrol engine, packing 195kW of power and 360Nm of torque for incredible driving enjoyment. Technological progress and further refinement of the most successful performance features of the Mégane R.S. 265 have meant that the new Red Bull Limited Edition provides an even more thrilling experience.

Renault Sport Technologies’ globally revered Cup chassis and Sports suspension provide intense road grip with low body roll, responsive handling

and a smooth riding experience. The R.S. Dynamic Management system allows three modes of driving function through variable Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control intervention – normal, sport and off – for optimal performance from the road to the racetrack.

The Mégane R.S. 265 Red Bull also features a limited-slip differential that delivers outstanding traction, ensures greater stability when braking and improves the efficient transmission of power to the road. It kicks in immediately under hard acceleration and cornering to free up the car’s full braking potential and allow for faster acceleration. 195KW OF PURE ADRENALIN, TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED FROM

DECADES OF FORMULA ONE® EXPERTISE AND BACK-TO-BACK WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES POWER THIS DYNAMIC HOT HATCH.
