Megane, with a little more power.

I like this one, like Clio V6 older brother... Beautiful car, it has the same V6 you find on 350Z.

Sorry m8 can't agree with you there . . . it looks like a spaceship.

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 08 Oct 2004, 14:34

show me the 'spaceship' so I can compare. ....

To me it looked like Renault is entering DTM all of a sudden. The civil version will be toned down, unfortunately...

wow! Nice one Urq!
In Spain we are used to see the civil version (Megane II) .... Here it was released about a year ago. isnt the same in your country? it is a weird car.
However I have always wanted to see a competition version, I knew it would be great. And I was right, it is an agressive model, I love it!

lol you asked for it

Pff, that's not a spaceship. That's wacko F-Zero Caption Falcon.

And it's not the engine from a 350Z.. It's THEIR engine. See, the 350Z uses a Renault one.

And I have to say it's not really bad looking.. But it isn't nice either.

^Sparco^ · Post by **^Sparco^** » 08 Oct 2004, 16:31

It is true, The Z uses the RENAULT engine. For some reason I love the cars which includes that engine

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 08 Oct 2004, 17:29

PSZeTa, I said it used the same engine that you find on 350Z, read carefully next time before going all 'caps'!

Nah, I was just ''learning'' others something.. Who knows, some might not know.

But it still sounds better as ''It has the same engine that the 350Z has'', instead of ''It has the same engine the Vel Satis (?) has''.

Yea Ive seen this car before on a different site. Cant say Im a fan personally, I think the rear arches are ridiculous. But each to their own

Unfortunately? You could hide a 20-person family of illegal immigrants in those huge scoops and in that massively thick wing.

ROFL
It is not that big! Notice the wheels are about 60% of total height.

Post by **TheStig** » 09 Oct 2004, 01:52

with a bit other rear bumper and rear arches It looks fine..

atleast way better then the normal Megane...

Holy junk.......beam me up, Scotty!

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 09 Oct 2004, 10:34

Meh, I like them DTM style arches, looks so mean and purposeful. Of course, this is a car for Megane trophy cup or whatever they want to put in and compete (FIA WTCC starts next year - so may be there?).

What I respect about it is the formula which in my view is the pure motorsport (RWD, midmounted engine).

T-Shine · Post by **T-Shine** » 09 Oct 2004, 12:04

That is a very very sexyful car!! I love it!

Killer Instinct · Post by **Killer Instinct** » 09 Oct 2004, 12:45

very futuristic looking. But I'd suspect that even driving over a manhole cover would send the whole rig to oblivion

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 09 Oct 2004, 16:54

Lol, sometimes practical people are so boring.... I'm glad you like it T-Shine, nice to catch you around time to time!

orvnahum_ · Post by **orvnahum_** » 09 Oct 2004, 18:54

Very nice front, but a really ugly rear.

T-Shine · Post by **T-Shine** » 09 Oct 2004, 21:49

@UrQ: You too, my friend

I wouldn't mind having one of these; or the Clio V6 for that matter. Yummy!

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 09 Oct 2004, 23:51

Yup, all of a sudden I find myself liking a share of French cars... the 406Coupe (my favourite), the Clio V6, this Megane Trophy, the RC Spades Peugeot Cars, the 907 Concept from Paris show (ooh, that one was hot!).

ViperJay · Post by **ViperJay** » 10 Oct 2004, 00:22

wow! what a monster

I like the body, but know I wanna know how it works in track

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 10 Oct 2004, 00:55

406 coupe, now thats a beautiful car. I actually quite like the new 407 too.

Post by **TheStig** » 10 Oct 2004, 01:34

I wonder what the 407 coupe would look like cause I heard they are planning one...

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 10 Oct 2004, 02:30

if its anything like the Silhouette 407 coupe concept, it will be gorgeous.
