20 Mugen's were made, 16 were sold and four that didn't sell are to be upgraded to the 2.2. No mention on what that'll cost.

So as I said, its all relative, just because you personally wouldn't buy it due to income

I could quite happily afford one thanks, but I wouldn't buy a car because it's bespoke. You can try to justify it all you want, but the fact of the matter is, 99.9% of people with that amount of money to spend on a performance car would go else where.

Exactly. Likewise, if I wanted this vehicle I could afford it. Would I buy it, not s chance in hell. If a wanted a blueprinted engine with quality sourced parts I would go elsewhere and save £k's!
Like I said, it's an awesome car, with a lot of hard work gone into it, but your paying over the odds for it. It won't go up in value with time because it's not that type of marque that does, it will lose money. The way some people go on about are like it's some sort of collectors piece like a DB5 or something. Seriously it's comical

FF guys, give it a rest, bow down say you can't afford but you would love one, and that there actually great value after everything that goes into them.

You mean the same way a Mugen RR went down in value?

[><>><<><]

So I'm the 0.1% because I'd buy one if could afford it, too bad it's RHD (:

This review should be better for everyone. Copied from this months Evo Magazine. I apologise in advance for the file sizes!

wow the renault smashed it, seriously amazing cars :salut:

Just goes to show what a well sorted chassis and the extra torque makes on that french clutter.

Renault sport models have long lead times... Lazy french gits.

Got to say that the Megane RS is one tasty looking motor. Bit gutted it beat the Mugen though, plus it will probably be broken in 10k

I use to think that, but its made in a different factory and the sport renaults are very good for reliability

Boost > N/a. Simples

[Jules]

I hate to say it, but might as well be the one. A few hundred pounds for a remap and it will further destroy the more expensive mugen even further.

[danneth]

so true jules, they just have the chassis so right on this a remap, and it would take ALOT to compete with this thing

[Jules]

Phenomenal road/track car with a map

[pulpmelon_r]

RS tuning in leeds seem to be the best live mappers around for the RenaltSport models, as soon as I've broken her in, its off over the M62 for for an intake, exhaust and tune.

[OZ 82]

You really getting one? Imagine if Honda/Mugen started making boosted machines like this, it would be awesome
