Second-Generation Megane on GT5

Song played in my Personal BGM: Golden Age by Def Tech
From the Album: UP
The Twin Meganes


In the Gran Turismo 5 game, there are two kinds of second-generation Megane you can choose from. Firstly, the 2003 Renault Megane 2.0 16V, which is a Standard Tier car that can be obtained at the Used Car dealer occasionally and the 2008 Renaultsport Megane, which is a Premium Tier car that how can something so wrong feels so right all along,

Renault Megane Smash - Classic Top Gear Total!

I find it somewhat very odd to see those two on GT5 but the second-generation Megane holds a special place in Top Gear history. When Richard Hammond said about the Megane's overall safety, he brings in some stuntman to crash the Renault Megane without the help of safety equipment, proving that this car is very safe. Guess this whole "Megane Smash" part in Top Gear really blown my mind.

Based on their bios, the Renault Megane 2.0 16V '03 is powered by a 2.0L engine, producing 131HP of power and 141ft-lb of torque, The Renaultsport Megane, on the other hand, is powered by the same 2.0L engine from the original but tweaked by Renaultsport to provide 221HP of power and 221.3ft-lb of torque. It would be ashamed for those if they overcooked the tuning settings for both of these and overall, none of these two surprised me. In fact, we're back at where we started...
