    IMHO all any Megane RS250 needs is a nicer looking set of wheels and it'll transform from an already very beatifully proportioned and looking car into a real ripper...

    Regarding this updated model, if they're not available here then there are always excellent tuning solutions on the RS250 variant which will easily put it over the performance levels of the RS265 Click here to enlarge

    I some how think they've got that messed up. Wouldn't imagine the 250 needed 2 bar to make it's power, let alone 2.5 bar for this one!

    Agree...it's a typo

    It's rated at 225kw / 420nm, so certainly wouldn't need anywhere near as much as 36psi to produce those numbers Click here to enlarge

    Looks like horrific understeer, at least until the tyres warm up.

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    atmosphere (1bar) + boost pressure (1.5bar) = 2.5bar
    For some reason manufacturers often quote boost levels this way, whilst the aftermarket dont Click here to enlarge
