The "Lutecia Renault Sport Trophy," a limited edition model inspired by the 2018 Renault Sport Formula One (F1) team's race car, the "R.S.18," has arrived.
The base Lutecia's top-grade "Renault Sport (R.S.) Trophy" features a 1.6-liter direct-injection turbo engine tuned by Renault Sport to produce up to 162 kW (220 ps) and 260 Nm (26.5 kgm) of torque. It also includes an overboost function that temporarily increases torque to 280 Nm when shifting through the 4th and 5th gears.
The transmission is a 6-speed Efficient Dual Clutch, driving the front wheels.
The design adopts the same colors as the F1 car "R.S.18." The jet-black Noir Profond Metallic body color is complemented by black Renault emblems, and metallic Jaune Sirius (yellow) F1-style air intake blades, side protection finishers, and alloy wheel center caps, accentuating its sporty presence.
Inside, the cabin features kicking plates with "R.S." logos and serial numbers, dedicated front door and roof decals, a leather and Alcantara steering wheel, and carbon-look air conditioning bezels.
Only 50 units are available. Applications will be accepted until Monday, May 21st, after which a lottery will be held for sales.
The price is 3.47 million yen, approximately 170,000 yen higher than the base model.
