The Monaco GP limited edition models are big on personality. On Mégane Coupé, the front end with its sleekly drawn headlights and large air intake expresses a resolutely forward-moving style, while the rear end features a broad shoulder line.
The sporting credentials of the line are emphasized by classic styling, rigorous proportions and a
harmonious whole. The pearlescent white paint developed specially for these models underlines their exclusive air. The dynamic and powerful design is accentuated by Etoilé black body components (including
the side mirrors, rear diffuser and fog-lamp surrounds), black headlight masks and “Monaco GP” badge work on the sides.

Exclusive interiors
Everything inside the two new models expresses build quality, stylish sportiness and a passenger-centric approach. Originality is boosted by:

Pearlescent white cabin details (console, strip, door handles),
“Monaco GP” stitching on the seats, a numbered plate and “Monaco GP” protective mats.

Athletic and reassuring roadholding
Both models feature the very best in technology for unrivalled efficiency and peace of mind, with a precise course regardless of grip conditions thanks to ESP, together with bi-xenon directional headlights and latest-generation dual-chamber airbags.

The chassis was specially designed to bring drivers optimal control and driving thrills, with no detriment to comfort. The Monaco GP models are concentrates of agile handling, dynamism and precision. These qualities are further emphasized on the R.S. version, which is fitted with an independent pivot arm on the front axle for pure motoring pleasure. The vehicle course is precise and reassuring whatever the grip conditions, whether on track or in town.
