In the UK, the latest addition comes based on the Cup chassis version, but also adds Recaro seats with yellow seatbelts and detailing, Renaultsport Monitor on-board performance tracking and a UK numbered plaque. There is a single option of a gloss Renault i.d. Diamond Black roof at £415.

Renault is offering free access for each 265 Trophy customer to one full 2012 Renaultsport UK track day which is worth £650.
