The Special Stages (SS) challenged the driving and recovery skills in the two classes of competitor teams (Modified and Special) to the maximum as they shake, rattled and rolled their machines. If the Friday Prologue SS was tough with mechanical problems and broken egos, the following two days were tougher for man and machine. On the second day, the action shifted to the banks of the Isonzo river and the hills of Farra. It was time for very technical maneuvers which required nerves of steel even from the most seasoned teams, but everyone was on full throttle with passion and played out the SS with true grit.

Delivering an experience that enthralls all senses — spontaneous, voracious throttle response, easy revving, hefty torque, prodigious power and sonorous music, the free-breathing 4.2 FSI is a high performance engine that can be found in racing. Boasting not only power, the R8 Spyder 4.2 FSI quattro with the R tronic is also efficient, consuming on average 13.5 litres of fuel per 100 km; fuel consumption with the manual transmission is 14.9 litres per 100 km. A recuperation system that recovers energy during braking comes as standard. The forced oil pump of the dry sump lubrication system features various suction and discharge stages for load dependent operation.

Exterior wise, the new Megane CC (I shall call it MCC from now on) looks less angular than its predecessor — it seems Renault’s designers decided to make it curvier (and more feminine too) this time around, probably to match Peugeot’s 308CC. The face has more prominence now thanks largely to the new swept back headlamps and detailed bumper (is it smiling at me?). Then, the rear looks simply beautiful, mainly due to the darkened tail lamps and the fact that its overhang is not that long to make it look, err, tilted like a duck’s rear? Oh, and those alloys are simply beautiful on the MCC — think of it as wearing the right shoe to match the dress. Ahh… you French are so fashionable.
