Put them on the track if you want to experience how great those two cars are not just straight line

Considering the civic type R has more power, it was very close.

[@chrishander9328]

That’s because the FL5 Type R only comes in manual transmission and the Megane is Automatic

[@niwouackermann8517]

When can we see Megane vs Corolla?

[@papichoulo3797]

I'll see the Mégane with 30 more horses and we'll see.

😂

[@van_der_lindeDA]

It's gonna take a bit more than 30hp to remove the crown off the Type R

[@amitprulovify]

And if the Honda with 30 more ? 😂

[@niwouackermann8517]

Much closer than what expected.
Thought the Honda will run away with it

[@van_der_lindeDA]

Same torque, honda has 10kw more and the renault is automatic....so why would the honda beat it by more?

[@niwouackermann8517]

On paper is one thing and reality something else. The Honda tents perform very well for it's power output and engine size

[@earth2baz]

What tyres are they running? The Megane likely has crappy Bridgestone s001.

[@madbikes]

Megan RS Trophy R may walk away from the FL5 Type R?

[@user-gv9mb6ze5s]

I didn't hear a launch control. Was it used?

[@lifenz1]

Honda for sure

[@user-br4bm8yo4m]

シビック乗りのシフトが上手いのと、メガーヌ乗りが下手な結果やな

[@ozemsadventureofrandomstuf252]

Worse part it’s manual 😂

[@scri987]

Pero el honda tiene 30 hp más. Además, el honda es un auto más moderno y obviamente Honda lo desarrolló para ganarle al Megane. Y no fue por mucho, yo creo que un Megane rs thropy r gana
