Continuing the sporting tradition of the Renault 5 Turbo, Alpine, Spider and Clio V6, all of which made their marks on European race tracks over the last 25 years, the Mégane Trophy - unveilled at next week's Paris Motor Show - is set to take to the grid in 2005

Awesome stuff!
Agreed. 
looks like a mean motherfucker! 
Whoa, that looks awesome! I don't like Meganes but this one is cool.

First cool Megane ever! Real bad-ass, like the Clio V6 Trophy.
This thread deserves a BUMP.

Semi- dry sump lube? Isn't that a bad thing?

no, that's good...not as good as full dry sump, but better than standard wet sump.
porsche calls it "integrated dry sump"

so what does the sump have to do with the performance of the car?
Dry sump provides oil to the parts of the engine that need it no matter the lateral g forces...in a wet sump design, if you hold a corner a long time, you can get oil starvation (obviously very bad).
However, dry sump requires a LOT of oil and takes up a lot of space, while wet sump doesn't. integrated dry sump, then, is a good compromise...as is my understanding, it's basically a pressurized wet sump system, so it provides oil when necessary while not being too big or holding tons of oil.
