One of the hottest hot hatches on the market has just got hotter. The Renault Megane RS has received a performance orientated upgrade from Kerkhof & Visscher, a Dutch Renault Sport dealer, with the kit targeting the vehicle’s engine and brakes.

The vehicle’s 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine has been fitted with an intercooler upgrade, a new stainless steel exhaust system and an ECU remap. The unit, which delivers 250 hp and 339 Nm in a factory stock form, now produces 310 hp and a maximum torque of 400 Nm.

The vehicle also comes with a matching stopping power, as it’s barking system has received Brembo calipers and Ferodo parts, as well as new brake fluid. In addition to that, customers can order an optional braking system that is borrowed from the Megane Trophy V6.

The car has ditched its stock wheels and now uses a set of OZ lightweight rims that come in a black finish (this created a contrasting image, as the car is finished in white) and use high-performance tires.

And the story doesn’t end here. The dealer said that it is currently working on a more extreme version of the Megane RS. As the power segment has already been taken care of, the future release will be focused on a weight reduction program. This will be achieved by the removal of the rear seats and multiple equipment features.

The interior of the vehicle has also been updated, receiving a special quilted leather upholstery that uses a two-tone red and black finish.
