Yeah considering the 997 GT3 RS Gen2 3.8 won ECOTY last year.

Who have thought now the 997 GT3 RS Gen 2 4.0 version is out that would have done so well????

Guess that's why Chris Harris on the mag has got £100K of finance on one of these..

Never thought I would say this but Renault make a damn fine Hot Hatch....................actually why wouldn't I say that I owned a GT Turbo back in the early 90's!
Clio and Megane put up a good fight in the mag.

Renaultsport have had been the top of the game for last 11 years imo, but to be fair evo always love Renaultsport and never really like vags, evo is the best mag out there but can be predictable, 911s always win car of the year and Renaultsport always anything fwd. lots of mags would rate the golf over the meg.
