After yesterday's image, Renault lifts the veil a little more on its intentions. #Under8 will be revealed on June 16th.
Our predictions were correct. The hashtag #Under8 – in Portuguese: below 8 – refers to the time that Renault wants to reach at the Nurburgring.
The French brand is not satisfied with the time obtained by the Seat Leon Cupra 280 at the Nurburgring and wants to return there.
He wants to go back there to regain the record for the Nurburgring's fastest front-wheel drive car, and he wants to go back to put the Seat Leon 280 back in its place. Which, according to the French brand, should be on the back of a Renault Mégane RS, of course…
According to the images, Renault will equip the Mégane RS with an Akrapovic exhaust line, sticky Michelin tyres, and Ohlins suspensions. Let's see if this spring is enough to beat the Seat Leon Cupra 280's cannon time of 7:58.4. Remember that the holder of this record, since 2011, was Renault Mégane RS with a time of 8:07.98.
We will have to wait until the 16th of June to find out if Mégane RS will be able to download the eight minutes or not…
