2018 Renault Duster R.S. - IAB Rendering

Before we go any further, know that the rendering you see below is purely imaginative. It's unlikely that Renaultsport would consider laying their hands on the Duster, although it's interesting to know what it would look like if they did.

Inspired by the Megane and Clio R.S, the Duster R.S features aggressive bumpers with silver accents, contrasting gloss black front lip, wider wheel arches, contoured front hood, small side intake with R.S badging, gloss black ORVM caps, black roof rails, R.S graphics, 19 inch black-painted alloy rims with low profile tires, and R.S exclusive Liquid Yellow exterior colour.

The interior may not have been rendered, but one can expect sportier seats with Alcantara upholstery, Alcantara wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, R.S instrument cluster, and an all-black theme with red accents.

Under the hood could be a 1.6-litre turbo four-cylinder petrol engine producing 200 PS and 260 Nm, sent to all four wheels through a six-speed EDC dual-clutch auto and an AWD system. The Duster RS would also sit slightly lower and have a firmer ride, thanks to the sportier suspension setup.
