RENAULT is preparing to welcome the New Year with the most powerful Laguna yet and a host of improvements and enhancements across its model line-up. Celebrating the Laguna's success in this year's British Touring Car Championship, Renault is unleashing the 194bhp 143mph Laguna 3.0 V6.

As well as stunning performance, the super-Laguna features a 100-Watt Alpine stereo with CD, leather upholstery, electric seats, cruise control and host of other extras for an on-the-road price of £22,060 - exactly the same as the outgoing Laguna V6. But as well as offering superior performance and creature comforts, the new Laguna V6 returns 10% more fuel efficiency.
