thanks renault for doing a manual!!
You could thank them by getting one. Just saying thanks for making a manual on the internet is not what keeps them making manual models.
Renault Mégane RS Trophy-R 2019 . Nurburgring Nordschleife lap record . 7'40''10 . Mégane RS Trophy-R the best ! 🏆🇫🇷
In my opinion, this is the best looking megane they've ever made 😍
That manual transmission part was hilarious
probably my favorite hot hatch
Where is the v6 phil video ?
Beautiful car and honest review! I like!!
"Not quite as sheek as a golf" Haha, apart from the mk1, when was the golf ever anything other than an average looking hatchback? Nice review though.
marcooconnor the Golf has a level of overall refinement that all the others have a hard time keeping up with. The Golfs have never been a bad looking car, they are just on a more mature level of style, not really flashy at all. Think that’s what he means by sheek
Renault doing great and brilliant
Ohhh Franchy boyz club right here lol
Ja Dokładnie what are you talking about
@@alig.20 Go to "german enginerring" to the shop... I smell lots of $$$
*Sees there's no clutch pedal*
Helll darkness my old friend...
Calvin Laudrensio then see that half of the video is also about the Manual gearbox version
Ive come to meet with you again
Amazing car and a great review. We definitely need presenters like you in germany!
Excellent Fun Detailed Review ! Competitors Are No Match To This Review ! Love This New Megane RS, Got me thinking this over Golf R !
i realy like the looks of the megane rs. the lights are soo awsome
Although I'm 15, I absolutely love your videos Alex! Thanks for making these videos, really inspired me to be a petrolhead and a car guy!
you know there's about 20 people that work at carthrottle, alex is a personality there
raven c Yeah true.
Your reviews are not alone informative, they are fun! Thank you!
Nice review. Great channel and perfect car. keep up the good work Alex!!!!!
I thought that bit at 2:38 was quite funny! Good work there, guys!
Josh Bacon Thought he was going to die right there due to shock, Lmao that was good!
Josh Bacon I agree
Josh Bacon The 2017 Honda Civic Type-R (FK8) is the current fastest FWD to lap the Nürburgring not the Renault Megane RS
Its 2 the ugliest hot hatch ever (the Honda)
At least it isn't some auto shite though!
This reaction when you found out that it is automatic 😂🔝
Wel matt Congrats, you are legit Fortune Teller. The new thophy R is madness and now again It has got the Ring record!
As usual a great video!!👍
I'm loving each new Renault that comes out 'cause I think the new desing is just awesome
Where are the ads??
I want u to have money For some food lol
My friend's uncle has a 2011 RS and that is just killer! Can't imagine the new one
Great review! Great car, superb sound, astonishing color, makes me really proud of owning a Renault Sport!!! Part of the family!
I like this car I wish French automaker would bring this to America. I'm sick of crossover.
Will be in Mexico...
PJ J sadly america is not the ideal market for this type of vehicle.
Eduardot12345556 why the ST, RS, TYPE R seem to do ok.
shaun simpson but they don't sell that much there. Cause you could get a pickup truck with the same price or with just a little more some american muscle car
Eduardot12345556 they do well enough for their segment. But they would never sell as much as crossovers. If we could somehow convince people that lover center of gravity + a better hatch platform is better than most crossovers...at least I did my part. Hot hatch FTW.
Pretty cool, thank god that it has a manual option
Love you channel brah. From IS200 to Gallardo... Awespme. A great find. Best of luck with everything. We're along for the ride.... 😁
I was in Glasgow for Christmas and New Year and saw one of these in the distance and was mesmerized by the paint. Great looking car.
That is one beautiful car. And good review, Keep it up.
beautiful yes but it's a shit ....
FREE STYLE Shut up you are a donke ...
Magnifique !
Merci pour cette superbe vidéo.
Thank for this good video !
Derien!
There are so much less 3 door hot hatches nowadays...please bring them back! :'(
Martin Bakos no, 5 doors is better
Yeah of course it is a good thing because practicability and more safer in case of an accident. But damn, it feels dumb when performance is on point.
More doors just look shit . I only like 4 doors on a saloon.
Great review. Enjoyed the banter !!
Great video!!! I'm always waiting for your videos, I would really like the little Megan!!!
They should've just named it The Megan tbh
Joshua Myat why
Is this awd?
Pim Prijs I would like to drive Megan from the rear ;)
2:37 Im dead 😂😂😂
Raul when's the funeral?
Raul okay drama queen
This is one of your best reviews ! Very fun and very clear ^^
It's absolutely beautiful. Easily the most striking of all the recent hot hatches. I want one!
I use to have the previous gen trophyR,it is just an animal. I could imagine how good the trophy r version of this one is gonna be
Now I just hope that the next Clio RS will come with a manual transmission option.
Unfortunately I guess they will never go back to manual with the clio rs ;(
Callum Brown My favorite Renault is the Renault Clio V6
Get a secondhand 2011-2015 Megane RS... They are all Manuals and therefore "Real" Track cars.
Alex you are the man! I really like the way you speak about every car you review. Keep up the good work god bless
I'd love to see a 3 door version of this! And i'm confident that the handling department will be well sorted out since it's Renault Sport who tuned this car and they're one of the best people setting up sporty cars.
Trophy R will be one serious fookin kit.. i think it'll put every hothatch to shame
I never really liked renaults but this one intrigues me
Great video... balanced viewpoint. Very enjoyable. Thanks
Really good review, I actually learned stuff about the car. Thank you
"Power Can Be Overcome With Agility"
Heh, tell that to Tesla....... They don`t get it.
Tesla is American.....enough said lol
soundseeker63 and how many times have american cars been better german and other companies around the world?
soundseeker63 I'll tell u,
a lot
a lot.... yet can't name any examples lol
soundseeker63 here's two, chevy corvette ZR1 and Ford GT.
You should be on topgear
Excellent as ever Alex grazie Mille
Nice review!!! Have always been a fan of the Mégane rs and it still hasn't changed a bit!
Best looking modern hot hatch? Best looking modern hot hatch.
Wish we got this in the US!
Michael O'Neill man I wish European hot hatches were a thing in the US.
They wouldn't sell because it's about the same price as a Camaro SS or a Mustang.
Plus I don't think Americans would be willing to buy brands like Renault
Cars Lover Kia's sell like crazy in the US and theyre Korean.
Ever since the early '90s the French have been afraid to return to the US market. The competition here is too fierce for them.
I do think that if they return, the Clio could beat the focus, though.
Toyota : Hold my beer.
I seriously cannot get enough of this car. Definitely going to be getting one!
A very nice review as always!
So you're outta prison... thank God.
Phil probably broke him out.
Well I thought judge granted him parole so that he can review this car 😂😂
Nakul Dalakoti That too...
prison for what? or is it a joke lol
Give It A Rub you didn't watch the last episode of 2guys 1 car.?
The Trophy is going to be insane :-D
I guess so insane that it will broke!
Fswing 95 Renault is more reliable than VW or any British carmakers. Fact.
@@fswing9591 that's your English that's broken mate
I wants that little baby rs....nice review,been living your videos recently :)
as usual, awesome. are there any project videos coming out? literally aching for a project mx5 or lexus video!!
I hope Ethan wasn't there when he said LSD 😏
Mohit Akundi why do you like English Love Songs
HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA FUNNY
The only thing i dont like about it (again) its that it has 5 doors instead of 3. Oh and those wheels.
Max Power tbh the selling point of a hot hatch has always been everyday usability and a fun car.
ZesPak I get what youre saying, but those wheels must go at least...
Max Power I think a hot hatch looks better with 5
Initial B I think a hot hatch looks like a family shopping basket with 5 doors and like a driver's sport hatch with 3...
Audidude audi 5doors do I guess your right
Nice review!
Awesome review for an amazing car. Was looking forward to the next RS.
Oh that car is a great car love it hope you enjoyed it and is it me or has Renault improved there designing
Nigel Swan Renault always had that thing, that french design, but as with all things, it is improved by the time we grow old.
Renault is shit but ReanultSport is fantastic 👍
Sad we dont have these in the states!
SGTR seriously!
That is sad 😐 europe is really car-guy paradise
You can always buy it in Europe and import it to the States...
Cherif But you can't register it in the states. So no point.
why not? i can ship a us car to the uk and drive it here. you dont even have to change the license plate
nice review. looking forward to seeing this car in the flesh
Awesome video! I currently drive a 2015 megane GT and can't wait another two years to get the RS! Working hard for it! Oh, and I do have a model of every car I have owned, so that model would really tick the box prior to me buying it ;) cheers lads!
280 HP. wow
Renault is becoming great.
Now Dacia should make s sporty version of the Duster.
There is a sporty version of the dacia sandero in Brésil
Not sure it's road legal, but you can get a Duster with a Nissan GTR engine.
No sir. The only cars that should flash up un your mind when you hear the words Hot Hatch is Renault Clio Williams and 205 gti hahaha. Good video!
Never seen a car review that was as funny as this one. I was literally crying! xD
I enjoyed the video keep up the good work
You can save on the world wide shipping and send that to me in England :D
Nice!!
It looks so good, hope I will drive it one day...
Cool video! As always
That seems like a not bad car. I have always liked Renault for their little hatchbacks. I wish one day they would just build something insane.
Car throttle rules!!!
Brody Lebid Yeah a successor to the clio v6 would be really sick !
Sorry but you are talking of Renault here.... look back at their history
wirKO the Espace with an F1 engine
Clio RS16, that is all we need
Brody, they took a normal Mk2 Clio and stuck a 3 litre V6 in the back of the (then) tiny Clio, made it rear wheel drive and stuck massive intakes on the side of the car. That said it would be brilliant if they did something similar again or made the Renault Zoe e-sport a reality.
That's a really nice car!
Really like this! Probably one of the better reviews of this online at the moment.
Nice car and great video Alex. Tell Renault to bring that beauty stateside!
Nice car they had to test it in the loudest colour on a Renault thought :-))
"Slush" boxes with everything nowadays, they where designed for strokes
Reason being they are not slush boxes anymore, the modern auto transmissions make the car quicker, more efficient and easier to drive than any manual transmission can.
That Megane RS model looks stunning..hope it's production ready unit and comes witha manual
Thinking of getting this in 2020..... great video alex
a renault that i would buy :p
Omiros Christodoulou Renault cars are great. French ingeneer are amongst the best in the world. But in general you 'll find English and Americans badmouthing on French cars for nothing...
TheNewParis i have had some terrible problems with my old renault but nowadays all cars are good i think
Omiros Christodoulou Really!
you have a gearbox inside? well that's a plus
Great review as always! :)
Your reaction at the first corner was the best hahaha a hot version of the Megane touring would be funny as hell
It's 2018 and you didn't buy the clio 182/172 as you said in the review video. Maybe this whole video is a complete lie too. Me and Phill are very dissapointed in you.
shut up
I'm sorry. I let you down. I'll make up for it with a V6 for Phil! Engine out tomorrow :)
Alex Kersten the thing is that I actually bought one and even made a dramatic video about how and why.
Never the less the car is pretty much as you advertised. Good luck with the project!
2:51 the moment he realises its an automatic
This looks soooo good. Reminds me of the clio 2 182 a bit from the profile. And looks super fun as well!
Nice vid mate. I want the small Megane!! This new Megane looks great but I prefer the previous RS to this one.
R.S. for Renault Sport. Never realised. Huh.
Protik Banerjee I mean...what did you think RS meant?
Neel Parmar Rally Sports
Never released the r stood for Renault either, sounds abit stupid of me
Neel Parmar ahhh there are plenty of cars with RS it's rally slec.
newc geoman true, it's a fair excuse, at least now you know
" 6 speed manual gearbox " :D
Great video! Would love that little one!
Very good review Alex keep it up
1:53 FAKE VENTS TRIGGERED
It really bothers me when people see fake vents they always say Civic Type R, when manufacturers have been doing fake vents for ages. Still hate the christ out of them and am glad my car doesn't have em..
Like how alex doesnt mention them
Atleast Renault has a real working diffuser and in the megane you dont need a hat to wear instead of the Civic type rice Mac meeting edition
it's time for Renault to shine !
do it ! K
do it ! Till they are as reliable as a Trabant they better just not shine.
I hope they will in Formula 1 with my team (McLaren)
That Deathstep Guy I call bullshit on you www.reliabilityindex.com/manufacturer
Kentoto FORTNITE FR Yea they test one or two cars str8 from factory, and Renaul is really famous from its reliability. I call bullshit on you..
Very nice review. First time I ve seen ya. Great job! Will be watching some more :) This car - I d love it.. GT good enough for me, though :)
Fine job as usual! :)
So you got out of prison. Hope your all better
I like renault
Felipe Schultheis I love lamp
*_ΠΔTHΔΠ_* i like turtles too
Great review. Well done. 👍
What a Renault beast !! Thanks for the review mates ! Keep it up
