Renault<\/a> has caused a few monocles to plummet into Pastis this week by announcing that their spangly new Megane RS Trophy-R will cost a frankly troubling \u00a372,140. Now, there are a number of ways to attempt to rationalise or justify this number \u2013 the carbon fibre wheels and carbon-ceramic brakes, the clever motorsport-informed aero and fancy \u00d6hlins suspension, the NACA duct and of course the N\u00fcrburgring record. Its Sabelt bucket seats only weigh 16kg; the Brembo brakes have discs bigger than your head. But seventy-two grand? Is that not something of an insult to the very idea of the hot hatch? This entire genre has always been firmly rooted in the concept of everyman thrills, allowing blue-collar boys and girls to dice with the sports car swankers in their souped-up shopping hatchbacks. Start putting sports car price tags on hot hatches and the whole concept is exponentially diluted. It changes the essence of what these cars are.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be honest, the most significant factor in that extraordinary price is surely the exclusivity. Renault are only building 500 of these things, and more than a few will undoubtedly be snapped up by collectors rather than actually used as intended. So we\u2019d like to suggest an alternative. If you have \u00a372,140 burning a hole in your pocket (and if so, lucky you\u2026) and you\u2019re hankering for the sort of hair-raising driving thrills that only a hot Renault can provide, we reckon that money would be better spent not on one car that you\u2019d probably be frightened to risk damaging, but on a whole SEVEN usable Renaults that would put a smile on your face every day. Go on, you know it makes sense.<\/span><\/p>\n

Megane R26 R<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Renault,<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be needing this one, for starters. The spiritual forefather of the new RS Trophy-R, this lightweight track terror took the already incredible base of the extravagantly named Renaultsport Megane 230 F1 Team R26, and turned everything up to eleven. This was essentially the Porsche 911 GT3 of hot hatches, the fireball R26 having 271lbs shorn from its kerb weight, involving the removal of all the sound deadening, the rear seats, foglamps, headlamp washers, passenger airbag, rear wiper, stereo… the rear windows were replaced with polycarbonate facsimiles that flexed endearingly when you poked them, the bonnet was carbon fibre, the exhaust was titanium. Continuing the racer-for-the-road theme, a substantial rollcage was bolted in, finished in a lurid red, joined by carbon-shelled Sabelt racing buckets with six-point harnesses. This super-obscure pared-back variant, of which only 230 were supplied to the UK market, is a bona fide modern classic. The example we\u2019ve found in our classifieds weighs in at a meaty \u00a327,995, which sounds like a lot for a ten year old Megane. But it\u2019s an absolute bargain for a road-legal race car.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clio V6<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Renault,<\/a><\/p>\n

Another exercise in lunacy here, the V6 Clio<\/a> is just <\/span>so<\/span><\/i> Renaultsport. You see, the basic Mk2 Clio was a hugely sensible car; compact yet spacious, economical and reliable, inexpensive and cheap to run \u2013 everything a hatchback should be. The V6 Clio turned all that on its head. There\u2019s nothing sensible whatsoever about this car. Nothing. The engine\u2019s where the back seats should be, the boot\u2019s under the bonnet and is just large enough to fit a toothbrush and a pair of pants, the damn thing drinks like a fish, and it will try to kill you at any given opportunity. These cars are driven by very brave people. The engine originated from the Laguna and was tweaked to produce 227bhp; given that converting a small front-engined front-wheel-drive car to a mid-engined rear-wheel-drive one involves rather a lot of extra technological gubbins, the V6 model weighed some 300kg more than the less insane Clio 172, and for this reason it wasn\u2019t significantly faster than its simpler sibling, shaving a mere half-a-second off the 0-62mph time. That\u2019s not really the purpose of the exercise though; the V6 was never supposed to be the quickest hot hatch in the world. It\u2019s just a screw-you car. Renault wanted to build the only mid-engined hatchback in the world, so they did. It really is that simple.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only 1,513 of these Swedish-built Phase 1 examples were made before production moved to Dieppe for the Phase 2. This early car we\u2019ve found for you has a superb history and is priced at \u00a319,995.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clio 172<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Renault,<\/a><\/p>\n

Crikey, we\u2019ve breezed through quite a lot of the budget already, haven\u2019t we? Alright, let\u2019s get ourselves some cheap thrills with this little poppet. It\u2019s not quite as mental as the V6 Clio, but you\u2019ll be spending a lot less money on clean pants and psychiatrists while still having almost as much fun \u2013 plus the original Renaultsport Clio 172 is a solid gold legend, everyone knows that. Back in the early-2000s, this thing was roundly praised as one of the sweetest-handling hatchbacks money could buy; the sheer naughtiness of squeezing a 2.0-litre motor into a small shopping car still seemed like a supremely decadent novelty, and the chassis beneath was utterly sublime. When you consider the various successes of the Renaultsport line over the last couple of decades, it can all be traced directly back to the iconic 172. It seems almost obscene that we can still buy these cars so cheaply \u2013 the one we\u2019ve found here hasn\u2019t been placed on a pedestal within a toughened glass case like it should be, it\u2019s available to you to drive on the road for a bargainous \u00a32,250. And you can live out some of the RS Trophy-R spec-list mischief by virtue of the fact that this one has a few tasty upgrades \u2013 it\u2019s got Cup shocks, Eibach springs, a Powerflow cat-back and RamAir induction. In fact, we kinda regret telling you about this one, we\u2019re desperately scrabbling for a job number so we can snap it up for ourselves\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

5 GT Turbo<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Renault,<\/a><\/p>\n

OK, having grown up in the nineties, we quite fancied a GT Turbo Raider \u2013 although they appear to be about 50% more expensive than other GT Turbos\u2026 but hey, check out this early Phase 1, it\u2019s ace. Not a hint of compromise here, this is a bona fide hot hatch hero. This 1986 model apparently has a genuine 28k miles on the clock, and while it carries a glorious period aesthetic (right down to the stock wheels), it ticks every single box for the <\/span>Max Power<\/span><\/i> generation: the boost\u2019s been wound right up, it\u2019s got coilovers, lunatic cams, whacking great turbo, and <\/span>\u2018it does take a couple of goes to get it started from cold\u2019<\/span><\/i>. This sort of flakiness is exactly what retro turbocharged Renaults were all about. Back in the good old days, it wouldn\u2019t be a quality seafront cruise without someone turning up in a GT Turbo with insane boost, and everyone placing bets on whether or not it\u2019d start steaming. That glory could be yours for \u00a310,500. We know we want to.<\/span><\/p>\n

Laguna BTCC rep<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Renault,<\/a><\/p>\n

So you really want a track car with lairy graphics? Is that what drew you to the Megane RS Trophy-R? OK bucko, here\u2019s a thick slice of fried gold for you. Obviously we couldn\u2019t slip a genuine Supertouring-era BTCC car into this list, it\u2019d smash the budget wide open, but how about a BTCC replica? What we\u2019ve got here is a 2000 model-year dCi, and\u2026 sorry, yes, it\u2019s not the quickest example, but look at it! It\u2019s wearing the classic Blend 37 livery so you can pretend you\u2019re Jason Plato, plus it\u2019s got the 19\u201d TSW multi-spokes tucked right up into the arches, and the engine\u2019s been remapped for a bit more grunt, and\u2026 alright, it\u2019s the slowest car in this list by quite some margin. But you don\u2019t even have to drive it, you\u2019ve got six other cool cars here. Just park the Laguna up and look at it, it\u2019s cool. And it\u2019s a thoroughly reasonable \u00a32,000, so our remaining budget remains largely untroubled.<\/span><\/p>\n

Laguna Coupe<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Renault,<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019re into the Laguna idea now, aren\u2019t you? So here\u2019s one that\u2019ll be a bit plusher on the daily commute. You can call this your sensible car. The late-model Laguna coupe is an impressively obscure thing in this country, sufficiently rare that they elicit genuine double-takes out in the wild. The example we\u2019ve found here has the best engine of the range (or, at least, the most credible when you\u2019re arguing about horsepower in the pub), the petrol 3.5-litre V6 borrowed from the Nissan 350Z \u2013 albeit detuned somewhat \u2013 and you get a heck of a lot of kit for the money. Your \u00a33,495 buys you 238bhp, heated leather seats, dual-zone climate control, four-wheel steering, and best of all the sort of brilliantly peculiar looks that will immediately mark you out as a connoisseur. Or an oddball. Either way, you can take it as a win.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

21 Turbo<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Renault,<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve saved the best for last here. 21 Turbo fans refer to this car as <\/span>\u2018the thinking man\u2019s RS Cosworth\u2019<\/span><\/i>, and that\u2019s basically what it is. While Dagenham\u2019s turbocharged four-door has passed into the pantheon of all-time greats, the 21 Turbo has been woefully overlooked, but the specs are alluring: the 2.0-litre turbo engine serves up a thoroughly pleasing 175bhp, and you also get leather seats, power steering, ABS, alloy wheels, electric windows\u2026 this was heady stuff in the late-\u201980s. There was even the option of all-wheel drive if you bought the Quadra version.<\/span><\/p>\n

The example we\u2019ve got for you here is a one-owner car, un-restored and reportedly rust-free. OK, it\u2019s in Portugal, but at the reasonable \u00a35,500 selling price you\u2019ve still got \u00a3405 left in the overall budget to grab a cheap flight out there and drive it back. And if you see a shiny new Megane RS Trophy-R en route, be sure to give them a smug wave. Yes, they\u2019ve got an incredible car \u2013 but you\u2019ve got seven.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
