    THE LAST EVER third-generation Renault Mégane Renault Sport has rolled off the production line in Palencia, Spain … and is now on sale in Scotland, at Arnold Clark Renault Dundee. Price? £31,930.

    The final Mégane Renault Sport is a right-hand-drive 275 Cup-S finished in Renault Sport’s trademark yellow metallic paint and has options such as, 19in Speedline alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres and Öhlins Road&Track adjustable dampers (2016 Renault Megane starts at £16,600).

    Inside, the car gets an Alcantara steering wheel, gear lever and hand brake; Recaro seats, handsfree keycard, Renault Sport Monitor V2 on-board performance tracking and R-Link multimedia system including satellite navigation.

    This is all in addition to the standard Cup-S specification, which includes the uprated Cup chassis and PerfoHub double-axis front suspension. The Cup Chassis Pack with mechanical limited-slip differential, red Brembo four-pot brake calipers, firmer springs and dampers and a stiffer anti-roll bar all make it ideal for circuit use.

    Inside, the 275 Cup-S is fitted with a Renault Sport analogue rev counter and speedometer, drilled aluminium pedals and the three-mode Renaultsport Dynamic Management system.

    The 275 Cup-S is powered by the same 2.0-litre, 275hp turbocharged petrol engine as the limited-edition 275 Trophy-R which, in June 2014, shattered the lap record for a front-wheel-drive production car around the 13-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife with a time of 7mins 54.36secs. It covers the  0-62mph in 6.0s and continue to a max of 158mph.

    Worth mentioning, this very special Mégane Renault Sport 275 Cup-S carries a very special price, to match its very special spec. Though the standard car costs £23,935, because of the impressive additional options added to the final car, it’ll set you all £31,930.
