Leeds-based tuner RS tuning unleashed the ‘Stage 2’ tuning package for the 2.0-litre, turbocharged Renaultsport Megane 250, offering up to 320 hp.

That is a gain of 70 hp, and it’s due to an extensive engine upgrade program. Its ingredients include Forge Motorsport high flow intercooler, a choice of sports catalyst or cat bypass pipe, a Milltek stainless steel performance exhaust system and a specially developed RS Tuning ECU remap for the 250’s F4Rt engine.

This car is now capable of hitting 62 mph from standing still in 6.1 seconds and reaching a top speed of 165 mph.

The kit costs £2199.00 fitted including VAT @ 20% for the cat bypass version (for circuit use only), while the MOT legal sports catalyst option costs £2499.
