Additional information: The hardest-core of all the hardcore RenaultSport Méganes, the Trophy R is a 500-unit special edition that recently set the lap record for front-wheel-drive vehicles at the Nurburgring Nordschliefe (because of course). Stripped out and with carbon fibre bits thrown everywhere that they can go, the Trophy R also comes with a rather exorbitant price tag to go along with its exorbitant performance.
 
Essentially the French counterpart of the Civic Type-R, but with some tacky looking decals added, enough to push an Uncool to Seriously Uncool. It's all substance but no style; it may be one of the fastest and most meticulously engineered FWD cars ever produced, but that doesn't hide the fact that it's just screaming for attention on the outside, and frankly isn't good looking.
 
Cool. Much lower looking and wider looking than the previous gen. Shame there's no 3-door. Anyway, glad Renault continue to make Trophy Rs.
 
If people complained about the seats on the new Thameslink trains they'll complain about the bucket seats in your tacky hatchback.
 
I imagine its very good and probably available without the graphics and red wheels if you wanted to be a bit more discreet, but imagine trying to explain to a regular joe why it's so special. Uncool.
 
Crap. Didn't knew that this Cool Wall subforum had eventually existed already until now. That's why I was wondering why it was getting less and less in the CIG subforum.
 
They shout about it setting a lap record at the 'Ring and you have to explain what it is to people who laugh at the stickers - Seriously uncool
