The French police has announced it has ordered 70 Renault Mégane RS Cup hot hatches to be included as apart of the highway patrol fleet. The new cars are expected to begin services in France by the year’s end.
The Renault Sport Mégane Cup was on show at the 2010 Knysna Hill Climb this past weekend, showing off its 184 kW and 340 Nm, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine on the 1.9 km route.
The car is already capable of sprinting from 0-100km/h in just 6.0 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h, but French police authorities have ordered the car to come with specially-tuned suspension and limited-slip differential. French police claim this car will help them catch offenders more easily and more effectively.
Having been launched at the Knysna Hill Climb this past weekend, you can read our first impressions of the new Mégane.
