The Renault Megane RS 300 Trophy will be the last hot Renault as the French brand goes electric. Ciro de Siena gives the model one last blast on one of his favourite driving roads.

Renault’s hot hatch arm, Renault Sport will cease to exist as the brand enters an electric future. From the early 2000s, Renault Sport upped the hot hatch game with some incredible specimens that often wiped the floor with the competition in the front-wheel-drive handling stakes. 

As the game moved on, so the hot hatch goalposts moved with it and AWD super hatches from Merc, VW and BMW became the hot ticket items that ruled the hatchback world. Renault stuck with its front-driven philosophy and continued to make cars that were thrilling to drive and defied the laws of physics at times. The Renault Megane RS Trophy is one of those cars, and one Ciro decided to take to one of his favourite roads and give it a good hammering. Watch as he decides if this might just be the best hot hatch ever.
