Renault Megane World Series - An Overview

In today's economic scenario, most people would prefer to buy a hatchback than a luxury car or a sports utility vehicle

. Hatchbacks offer a lot of benefits, and are ideal for many families. However, the selection of a good hatchback may prove to be a very difficult exercise.

The hatchback market is flooded with many models from different manufacturers, and you have to be very clear about exactly what you want. The best way to go about this process is to look up various models on the Internet and choose the car that suits you. However, class and elegance aren't always bundled together in a single package. The exception is the Renault Megane World Series.

The World Series actually started off in 1998 when Renault's manufacturing partner Nissan began the Open Fortuna revolution. Renault then started an annual tour of ten countries under the name of World Series in 2005, which included showcasing of the latest models of cars. Top drivers from around the world participate in this event and try out various cars.

Renault has chosen to make the World Series a platform for the launch of different limited edition cars. The 2009 World Series at the Silverstone racing track in the United Kingdom saw the launch of Renault Megane World Series and Renault Clio World Series.

The Renault Megane is basically a hatchback that was launched in 1995. It was touted to be the replacement for the Renault 19 series with additional security features. The design of Megane was hailed by experts and the general opinion was that Megane was way ahead of its time. This hatchback, more commonly known as Megane I was offered in two models, with three and five doors. Megane I had a two litre petrol version as well as a 1.9 litre diesel version, and a Facelift version was released in 1999 with improved safety features. Renault offered Megane in different forms, including saloons, convertibles, hatchbacks and coupes.

The next generation Megane II released in 2002 had a more powerful engine that could deliver around 120 horsepower. Renault also introduced a hybrid version of Megane with an optional glass sunroof. The third generation Megane III is currently available only in a coupe version with improved engine features. For racers, Renault introduced the Renault Sport version of the Megane with an engine that could deliver a whopping 220 horsepower.

The World Series editions are available as hatchbacks and coupes. Many changes have been made to the exteriors of the car, including new front spoilers, side fins and skirts, and an all new 3.5 liter V6 engine. The wheels have also been modified into seventeen inch alloy wheels. The transmission in the Megane Coupe has been changed into a six speed manual gearbox with the option of a five speed automatic transmission. The traction control, antilock braking system and climate control systems have been upgraded and new airbags have been introduced. The Renault Megane World Series models are available only in limited editions and the pricing helps customers save a lot of money.
