The Renault Laguna was raced in the BTCC by Alain Menu Jason Plato and Will Hoy winning the Manufacturers’ Championship in 1995 and both the Drivers’ and Manufacturers’ titles in 1997. It was powered by a Renault Sodemo 1998 cc inline four producing 310 bhp at 8500 rpm and 255 Nm at 7000 rpm driving the front wheels through a six speed sequential gearbox with a race weight of 975 kg. The Laguna used a MacPherson strut front suspension multi link rear suspension and large ventilated AP Racing disc brakes making it one of the most effective Super Touring cars of the era
