You Think Ducatis Are Expensive? - Try A £72k Renault Megane

It's not me or my garage but I prefer the red ones behind the French thing

 

I dunno, every special/limited/factory... edition nowadays are getting expensive.

I think the interesting bit will be, if in 20-30 years time, these will be the Renault 5 Turbos (not the 5 GT Turbos) with high values, or Clio 16V/Clio Sports, good examples can still be bought for normal/cheap money. Usually though, with Renault there isn't enough people willing to pay a lot of money for them, so the values drop instantly, and it takes an exceptional car to start rising in value. The Megane doesn't have any racing pedigree, just a record lap.

 

Now you could lap Nuremberg 40 seconds faster than the previous prettier version. Too bad that costs an additional 50 grand - 1250 per second!

 

I'd spend much less on one of these, have more fun than driving a car with a sticker kit on it

 

Well done to Renault for bringing out super fast hot hatches which forces other manufacturers to follow suit

 

But at 72k a pop it won't bring back the XR3i riddled streets of the 80's.....
