Renault Megane R.S will make its public debut at Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix.
The all-new hot hatchback will make its way around the Principality’s famous street track on 26th May.
It will be driven by Renault Sport Racing Formula One Team’s Nico Hulkenburg.
Renault has confirmed that they will officially unveil the Megane RS at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
There has not been any confirmation on whether the car will be revealed in full at the Monaco Grand Prix or whether it will wear camouflage.
What is confirmed, however, is they it will sport a yellow and black livery, the signature Renault Sport colours.
From the accompanying image we can see certain elements of the car’s design.
It features a bolder more aggressive bumper with the black mesh air intakes and the tri-LED fog lights.
These lights are shaped like chequered flags, which are also features on the updated Clio RS.
Earlier this month the rumoured rear-end of the hot hatchback was spied online undisguised.
It shows a muscular rear bumper, solo centrally mounted exhaust and bold new rear headlight design.
