So informs the publication Autocar. They also write that the novelty will get a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged unit, which is made based on the next generation Renault Megane RS engine.

By the way, the current French "charged" hatchback is the fastest front-wheel-drive Nurburgring car. The car is driven by a 1.8-liter 300-horsepower "turbo-four" with 400 Nm of peak torque.
