The new 2012 Renault Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet Monaco GP coupe

The limited edition Monaco GP version of Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet is big on personality.

The exclusive Pearlescent White body colour is accentuated by Etoilé Black details which produce a ‘two-tone’ effect reminiscent of a dinner suit.

The Gloss Black diffuser adds to the car’s sporty appeal and is suggestive of the phenomenon of ground effect associated with the world of Formula 1. The cabin boasts a dark charcoal trim with contrasting Pearlescent White highlights, plus embroidered “Monaco GP” badging for the seats and carpet mats. The glass roof ensures a brightly lit interior whatever the time of year.

The model’s elegance is further enhanced by careful attention to detail. The door mirrors, diffuser and fog lamp surrounds are picked out in a Gloss Black finish. Meanwhile, inside the cabin, Pearlescent White is used for the dashboard trim strip, door panel inserts and centre console. Each car comes with an exclusive numbered plaque and “Monaco GP” badging on the body sides. Aluminium pedal covers and 17-inch Gloss Black Celsium alloy wheels round off the list of sporty appointments.

Monaco in brief
The limited edition Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet Monaco GP symbolises Renault’s historic association with the Automobile Club de Monaco.
Ever since François Repusseau’s win on the Monte Carlo Rally in 1925 driving a Renault 40CV, the two partners have been united by common values and the same passion for motorsport.
A long-standing highlight of the Formula 1 season, the Monaco Grand Prix has been won on numerous occasions by Renault-powered cars (and most recently in 2011 by Sebastian Vettel). To help groom the F1 champions of tomorrow, Renault Sport also organises a Formula Renault 3.5 Series race through the streets of the Principality.

The new limited edition ‘Monaco GP’ version of Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet marks Renault’s contribution over the years to the legend of the Monaco Grand Prix.
First introduced in 2010 for Laguna Coupé, followed by Mégane Coupé and Mégane R.S. in 2011, the luxury Monaco GP signature targets customers seeking a combination of sporty styling and elegance.
The new limited edition version will be marketed in 12 countries and will go on sale in France today. Price is €32.800

Previews Greenie spendthrifts wanted: A heavier, slower Civic with a smaller trunk. Oh, yeah, and it costs 50 percent more. Never mind that we in Michigan are just emerging from our igloos after a long cold winter. The world is heating up, the ice caps are melting, and when that melt is complete, we’ll all be living high in the mountains in houses on stilts to stay dry. Forty days and 40 nights the waters will rage, and when the ice caps refreeze, we’ll all be fighting over who called first dibs on those last two pigs for our celebratory barbecues, since the unicorns were already eaten by sharks. There are people who would argue that that sinister little creation, the automobile, is responsible for it all. We blame Al Gore, China, sweatshops, and greenie celebrities who flit about in private jets. Those who want to make a difference drive hybrids, while those who researched their decision drive diesels. Those who are truly enlightened and want to make a difference, however, seek someth...
