A new version of the Renault Mégane Renaultsport has been revealed, called the Red Bull Racing RB8.
To celebrate its third constructor's world title in Formula 1, Renault and Red Bull have created the new model to become a flagship for the range.
The RB8 comes with a range of additional equipment including Red Bull Racing branding, Recaro seats, R-Link multimedia and a TomTom Live navigation system, Bridgestone Potenza tyres and the latest version of the on-board RS Monitor.
Red Bull branding continues inside, with bespoke aluminium kickplates and carpets.
An exclusive Twilight Blue finish with Platinum Grey detail will also be available on the hot hatch.
The RB8 will use the same 2.0-litre turbocharged 261bhp engine with stop-start as the Mégane Renaultsport 265 Cup.
As with the Cup, the RB8 features stiffer springs, dampers, anti-roll bar, limited-slip differential and grooved discs with Brembo callipers.
