The Renault Sport Mégane R.S. Trophy Safety Car is, as the name implies, a safety car variant of the Renault Sport Mégane R.S. Trophy '11. It appears in Gran Turismo Sport (as part of Update 1.53) and Gran Turismo 7.

Description

Dealership (GT7)

This Gran Turismo-exclusive safety car is based on the Mégane R.S. Trophy. Renault Sport's distinctive yellow color has been retained, with a light bar added to the roof.

Acquisition

GT Sport

Unlike most cars in the game, this car is not available for purchase in Brand Central. This car can only be obtained by exchanging 5000 Mileage Points in the Mileage Exchange section when available, but can be on special for less.

Due to Mileage Exchange being discontinued as part of the end of Gran Turismo Sport's online services, this car is no longer obtainable legitimately.

GT7

This car can be purchased in the Renault section of Brand Central for 50,000 Credits.

Trivia

Two Megane safety cars with default and red light bars.

• This car, the McLaren P1 GTR '16, Ferrari 512BB '76 and the Toyota Crown Athlete G Safety Car are some of few non-Gr.4/Gr.3 cars that can have the light covers changed. In case of the Mégane Safety Car, it changes the color of the light bars.
  • The Yellow (Type B in GT7) setting on this car changes the light bars' color to red instead of yellow, similar to the Crown Athlete. However, the effects do not appear to take effect within the Livery Editor as the LED lights are switched off at all times.
• In GT Sport, this car, alongside the Toyota Crown Athlete G Safety Car and the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Safety Car were originally going to be N-class cars (this and the Crown Athlete being N300, and the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Safety Car being N700). This was quickly changed to Gr.X to match the other safety cars.
  • Despite this, the car is eligible for some road car GT League events, notably the Compétition de France and World Hatchback Championship.
• Out of all three additional safety cars added in December 2019 in GT Sport, this appears to be the only one not explicitly based on a law enforcement vehicle. Possible bases for this car are either those used by the French Gendarmerie or the safety car used in World Series by Renault (WSR) race events.
