Renault Megane RS 250 Monaco Grand Prix Limited Edition gilds the lily

Typically, when Renault comes out with a Monaco or Silverstone GP edition or something similar, it’s targeted at those who’d like to get their hands on a full-fat Renaultsport model but can’t quite get there. This time, however, the Monaco Grand Prix edition packs everything you’d expect from a Megane RS, and then some.

The Renault Megane RS 250 Monaco Grand Prix Limited Edition packs a 2.0-liter turbocharged four producing 246 horsepower, along with a glass roof, 19-inch alloys, red Brembo brake calipers and bi-xenon headlights. It only comes in pearlescent white, which contrasts nicely with the glossy black trim on the grille, side mirrors and rear diffuser – a theme continued inside with the black and white interior.

Since all 50 examples of this special are reserved exclusively for the Australian market, however, you’ll have to admire it from afar in the high-res image gallery and the press release after the jump.

Ferrari sure had a lot to celebrate this past weekend at Silverstone. Not only did Fernando Alonso score the team’s first win of the season, but he did it on a rather momentous occasion for the Scuderia: Sixty years ago in 1951, José Floilán González scored the team’s very first victory at the same grand prix, held on the same second weekend in July as this year’s race.

In what might be seen as a bit of a premonition of Alonso’s victory, or maybe just a little touch of good luck, the two-time world champion borrowed the very same car in which González took the checkered flag there sixty years ago around for a couple of hot laps, and even got it a little sideways coming out of the corners.

The 1951 Ferrari 375 today belongs to F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone, who was evidently glad to bring it over to the Northamptonshire circuit for the historic demonstration and entrust it to a pair of hands that, as proven on race day, are some of the most skilled in the world. Follow the jump to watch the video.
