Since a year I drive this:
I don't see many european cars here on cpf, so i want to introduce this nice Renault Megane RS: it's a 2L four cylinders, twin scroll turbo installed on a hot hatch body. 6 gears manual shift. Traction avant with lsd differential and cup frame. Brembo brakes, hard suspension set up and Recaro bucket seats. 235-45-18 Michelin Pilot Cup chewy tires. There is a cool monitor in the dashboard telling every kind of info regarding engine's working, with the possibility of changing the dynamic response including power and throttle. 265ps, 0-100km/h in 6 sec, top speed 250km/h. Little less than 8' lap time at the Nordschleife (with a real pilot behind the wheel, of course).
I never had the occasion to ride it in a circuit, unfortunately, but I would love to. On the street is funny and rapid. There is a bit of lag before the turbo gets in, giving an old school turbo feeling. But then it's brutal, with the wheels pulling convulsely left and right the steering due to the lsd action, while the turbo whistles and the dash blips for the shift timing. Excellent cornering too. You can push and it's reactive but solid. Forgives a lot and it makes easy to go fast in full control. Braking is plenty.
Cool car.
