The Original Models: Symbols of Performance
The Mégane 2 RS , launched in 2004, marked Renault's return to the compact sports car segment with a 2.0 16V 225 horsepower engine. This model revolutionized Renault's approach to sportiness, combining a chassis developed by Renault Sport Technologies with an aggressive aesthetic that left no doubt as to its intentions. Its design benefited directly from the expertise acquired in Formula 1, particularly in terms of aerodynamics and airflow management.
The 2006 Clio 3 RS continued the tradition of small French sports cars, a direct heir to the legendary Clio Williams. With its 2.0 16V engine developing 197 horsepower, it offered an exceptional power-to-weight ratio and road handling praised by all experts. These two models shared a common philosophy: to offer driving sensations worthy of competition in vehicles accessible for everyday use.
Renault: The Heritage of Competition
At the time of the launch of these models, Renault was enjoying a golden era in Formula 1 with the Renault F1 Team winning the constructors' and drivers' championships in 2005 and 2006 with Fernando Alonso. This sporting dominance directly influenced the development of the production models, creating a true technological bridge between the track and the road. The experience gained with F1 V8 engines fueled the evolution of the naturally aspirated units of the RS versions.
The diamond-shaped brand, founded in 1899 by the Renault brothers, has always cultivated this connection with competition. As early as the 1900s, Renault participated in the first motor races, notably winning the first ACF Grand Prix in 1906. This culture of performance has continued through the decades, from victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 1950s to contemporary successes in Formula 1, making Renault one of the most successful manufacturers in motorsport.
The Anecdote: When F1 Inspires the Road
The story of this set has its roots in a fascinating anecdote from 2005. During the development of the Mégane 2 RS Trophy, the most extreme edition in the range, Renault Sport engineers collaborated directly with the F1 team. Pat Symonds , then technical director of the Renault F1 team, personally oversaw the chassis settings of the Trophy, applying the aerodynamic principles used on Fernando Alonso's single-seater.
This unprecedented collaboration resulted in revolutionary technical solutions, such as the use of adjustable Sachs struts , directly inspired by F1 suspension. The Mégane 2 RS Trophy thus became the first production car to benefit from such a technology transfer, setting a new standard in the automotive industry. This approach subsequently influenced the development of the Clio 3 RS, which inherited many of the innovations tested on its big sister.
Even more surprising, the colors of this box set recall the historic livery of the Renault F1 team, with its iconic blue and yellow tones. This color palette, chosen in homage to the Mild Seven cigarettes that sponsored the team, has become so iconic that it continues to inspire Renault Sport special editions today. The NOREV box set perfectly captures this visual heritage that inextricably links F1 and road models.
In 2006, the year the Clio 3 RS was launched, Renault was at the height of its F1 glory with a second consecutive title. French dealerships then offered limited F1 Team editions of their sports models, creating a direct link between Fernando Alonso's exploits and the cars sold to the public. This ingenious marketing strategy allowed every Renault Sport buyer to feel connected to Sunday's victories.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
How is my package protected during transport?
We package each order with the utmost care: bubble wrap, appropriate cushioning, and polystyrene. Your model car is perfectly secure during its journey.
