Renault Japan has announced that it will unveil a limited-edition Megane RS Trophy at the Tokyo Auto Salon next week. Though details about the hot hatch are scarce, it is rumored to be called the "Megane RS Ultime," signaling its status as the last model in the series.

The car is expected to feature cosmetic changes, rather than any radical modifications, and is likely to be powered by a turbocharged 1.8-liter gasoline engine producing 296 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. This engine is shared with the Alpine A110 and will be paired with a dual-clutch, six-speed automatic transmission.

Production of the Megane RS Ultime will be limited, with an estimated price of over €50,000 in France, where the regular Megane model retails for €44,650.

 

 

The Tokyo Auto Salon will take place from January 13-15 at the Makuhari Messe convention center.
