The Original: The Renault Megane Maxi
The Renault Megane Maxi was developed as a homologation vehicle for racing and belongs to the Mégane I generation, which was produced from 1995 to 2003. Under the guidance of engineers like Claude Billot and Michel Nandan, this vehicle was specially optimized for use in the French Rally Championship. It was based on the production Megane but with significant modifications to be competitive in the F2 Kit Car category. The car was equipped with a 2.0-liter 16V engine capable of producing around 280 horsepower. The engine, combined with a sequential gearbox and optimized suspension components, made the Megane Maxi a car that was particularly effective on asphalt tracks. The car's equipment included an extensive suspension setup and aerodynamic improvements such as large spoilers and wider fenders.

The outstanding aerodynamics and precise handling were crucial factors in these successes, making the Megane Maxi an iconic vehicle in the rally world.
The Renault Megane Maxi also made an impact on the European level. Drivers like Serge Jordan and Piero Liatti achieved excellent placements in various international rally events. The combination of high performance and outstanding suspension tuning made the Megane Maxi one of the leading vehicles in its class. Despite tough competition, it was the reliability and technical know-how of the Megane Maxi that helped it make a name for itself in European rally sport.
