The M\u00e9gane Renaultsport is widely acclaimed by many as the benchmark hot hatch, but on the off chance it isn\u2019t quite exclusive enough for some, then Renault has the answer with the launch of a new limited edition, the M\u00e9gane Renaultsport Red Bull Racing RB8.<\/p>\n

Exclusive looks – the result of combined inputs from Renault and Red Bull Racing design teams:<\/p>\n
The exclusive Twilight Blue finish takes its inspiration directly from the race team\u2019s famous colours, while Red Bull Racing graphics at the rear and on the sides are further tell-tale hallmarks of this limited edition car. In addition to its sporty credentials, it stands out as particularly elegant, too, thanks to exterior Platinum Grey details (F1 blade, door handles, door mirror housing and rear lip spoiler) which contrast with the striking Twilight Blue paintwork. Last but not least, a monochrome laurel on the rear side windows celebrates the team\u2019s 2012 Constructors\u2019 world title.<\/p>\n

This limited edition version marks the availability of the built-in, connected R-Link multimedia tablet for the M\u00e9gane Renaultsport range.

Along with R-Link, there is now also the 2.0 version of Renaultsport Monitor which fans of sporty driving will particularly appreciate.
