The only exceptions were the composite-bodied, spaceframe-chassised 3.5 V6 Trophy cars which were bolted together in Dieppe and sold to racers at £126,000 a pop.

On its strut front, torsion beam rear suspension the standard 250 – or Sport, as it was correctly called – was a planted and secure drive, helped by Renault’s pivoting, torque-steer reducing Perfohub strut that was their version of Ford Focus RS’s RevoKnuckle design.

Since 2017 there’s been a brand-new gen-three RS (or to be strictly accurate ‘R.S.’, hmm) based on the gen-four Megane. The first bustle-backed RS225 and 230 came out in 2004, but we reckon that the middle batch of RS Meganes from 2010 to 2016 – the 250, 265 and 275 – represent the best mix of performance, reliability and affordability.
