[@Dog4life]

Wonderful video. I bought one last year , a joy to drive on the swiss mountain roads . Can't get enough of it.

[@BOTBreviews]

Thanks! And thankyou for watching 😁👍

[@MrSunnyBhoy]

What a car, but like you said not a daily. Good presentation mate

[@BOTBreviews]

Thanks! 😁👍

[@angelstavrov5032]

I think this is better than the civic type R but it's a lot more expensive. I would love to daily the "normal" 4 control rs. Thank god Botb have one in the line up!

[@CarObsession]

Good video, but why is the image flipped at 2:09? #confused

[@BOTBreviews]

Just breaks things up a bit!

[@CarObsession]

@@BOTBreviews Oh, just seems a bit odd.

[@bradc01x]

It would be nice to see this car come to North America.

[@MajorAMinor]

With the adjustable dampers set to softest, the Trophy-R is actually a better daily car than the normal Trophy and a better daily car than the Megane 3 RS (non-Öhlins). It's really all about the setting of the Öhlins.

Gorgeous! Love those wheels

[@ElectricPetrolhead]

Too much of an EV fan to say I wouldn't go Model3 at this money, but still love the special Meganes

[@mantazini]

want a sausage ?

[@supposedly6991]

You can't be a petrolhead if you love electric cars more than petrol fueled ones... 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@ElectricPetrolhead]

@@supposedly6991 of course you can. Half of the Tesla owners I know enjoy petrol cars but most are seeing EVs as better. Doesnt change them being car fans tho. whatever the fuel

[@BOTBreviews]

@Krajišnik 7 Sorry but that statement is pure nonsense!

[@bob6168able]

HI,, Pls Renault GT Vs Ford ST ,, thanks !

[@JCW-jx6ld]

Standard car now has 300hp engine

[@PureLeeful]

Correct. 👍👍

[@angelstavrov5032]

They have added it to the dreamcar competition Rs 300

[@jean-yvesderick6085]

Renault Mégane RS Trophy R the best ! ❤🇫🇷

[@adamrawlings6789]

Why do you attach the term 'hot hatch' to this car? As soon as you do that you have set the parameters and the context of what to compare it to and whether its worth £.... 'for a hot hatch!??' That's like saying 'this porsche is a hot coupe', then choking at paying £150k for a 'hot coupe'. You need to see and review the car on its merits, objectively, not against this cursed 'hot hatch' grading system

[@CarObsession]

I'm sure it's a great car, but it's simply stupid money. I still don't understand why they bothered to make it 5 door as there are no rear seats - surely a 3 door would be cheaper? I'm sure I heard somewhere that you can pay Renault to put the rear seats back in, but I can't see that option on the online configurator.

[@BOTBreviews]

Renault don’t make a 3dr Megane anymore.

[@CarObsession]

@@BOTBreviews True, but why not make the exception for this, as it's such an extreme model, and it's worth pointing out that the new GR Yaris is 3 door even though the rest of the Yaris range is 5 door.

[@BOTBreviews]

My guess is this would cost £100k if Renault had to engineer a bespoke shell for it! Such low volume it just isn’t worth it. Plus the rear doors are useful for getting your track day wheels in! 😁👍

[@Thesupetrsisters]

51k for a stripped down track car that does 0-62 in 5.4s ! What a joke. When one can buy an Audi rs3 for 32k or a Mini GP for 35k (if you re hard set on a stripped down fwd track car) who on Earth is gonna even consider buying this? Seriously I d love to read arguments if I anyone thinks I m wrong. Perhaps I m not getting something

[@supposedly6991]

You are ridiculous... Why wouldn't someone want a car like this?? It's not the acceleration that matter the most here, it's handling and fun factor. This Trophy R will destroy any Bmw m2, m3 ,m4, or Merc c63 on a twisty road or quite frankly any rwd car in that similar price range (Trophy R is actually cheaper than those) . It has much more grip than a rwd car and it's much safer to drive quickly. It's an amazing machine... Many expert motoring journalists have said that if this car had twice as much power and it was able to put it down to the ground it would achieve same lap times as the most track focused supercars. This stock Megane can be just as exciting as supercars that cost 4+ times as much.

[@supposedly6991]

For this car it's not about acceleration, it's about handling and driving feel, which is among best in the world overall, not just hatchbacks.

[@BOTBreviews]

Now this I totally agree with! 😁👍

[@richardrampley4980]

Bell end. It would destroy an S3 or any mini on any circuit. Handling thick o besides power and weight make a quick car. Learn.

[@MrFreakytoons]

I was taking this vid seriously until he mispronounced the name of the exhaust.

[@BOTBreviews]

I pronounced it correctly - check with Akrapovic!

[@Racingwespe]

nothing wrong with the pronouncement

[@johnpardo4695]

Love the car but seeing it's a Renault the electrics will be crap.

[@minimumtrade]

The off the shelf Bosch components, lile every other car?

[@Tcuel]

You really need to get over that Renault = bad thought... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYasfGqBlNZrm7s

Maybe 15 to 20 years ago.
