2018 Renault Megane RS , It Has 4 Wheel Steering !

Image
Since the start of the new mellenium Renault confirmed that it has only two spoiled children in its family , these two were called Clio and Megane . In fact the company spent more money on developing these two models more than any other name in the company . Renault went even further by crowing these two with the RS badge and promote them as performance cars .We can all associate Renault's emblem to either the Clio or Megane and that proves that the French auto maker has done a proper job to make the previous models a bit iconic to the brand .  Now Renault has released its latest RS and it the 5 doors Megane. Unlike the previous model, the new Megane RS comes with two chassis choices , either the soft sport chassis or the harder more traditional  cup chassis . All hot hatches has 4 doors now like its rivals , the Focus , Civic and the new Hyundai . We must say that the latter models are facing a serious challenge in terms of looks because the new Megane is indeed a loo...

2018 TVR Griffith , Utter Blasphemy

Image
This is the recently released TVR Griffith , it looks quite vigorous and forceful as expected from the British brand . The company decided to resurrect the Griffith name through their newly signed partnership with Gordon Murry design and Cosworth . In other words you get a design from the man who pictured the ultimate Mclaren of all time , the F1 and an engine developed not by engineers but with legacy and heritage in the automotive industry .   Let us start by the name , Griffith . It is a male given name that derives from Griffin , a mythical creature with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion and that to put emphasis on their philosophy that combines performance with agility and extreme looks . The company was founded by a British man called Travor Wilkinson in 1947 amid the second world war , he kept managing the company until he passed in 1962 then Martin Lielly from 1965 until 1981 , the company then was acquired by the British engineer and businessm...
