Renault broke their own 'Ring record this past week when they recorded a very impressive 8:07.79 around the Nordschleife. The time was good enough to make Renault's new Megane RS Trophy the fastest production spec FWD car to ever lap the Nürburgring. While watching the record setting lap we had to keep reminding ourselves the car in question was only a 265 horsepower FWD Renault and not a vehicle significantly more powerful or significantly more RWD.
