This, boys and girls, is the last RenaultSport Megane 275 to roll off the production line. It"s an occasion worth marking, as with it, it brings the RS version of the mk3 Megane to a close.We"ve long been fans; it"s a whole seven years old now, yet still continues to offer the most raw and exciting hot hatch driving experience on sale. Not even the slightly mad Honda Civic Type-R is as committed to providing thrills as this, though the Japanese car is undoubtedly a slightly better all-rounder.What shape the next RS Megane - due in 2018 - will take, we don"t yet know. Talk of paddleshift gearboxes and four-wheel steering have given purists (well, us) the heebie-jeebies, but an engineer we spoke to a few months ago assured us the go-faster mk4 Megane will still offer a raw" experience. With the Ford Focus RS to fight, it needs to be quite good.In the meantime, though, let"s celebrate the car it replaces, via a tour of the Megane"s key iterations
