Renault has announced details of its new range-topping Laguna models which feature high output engines and four-wheel steering.

The GT models, which make their debut at next month’s Geneva Motor Show before going on sale in April, feature sports styling including 18-inch alloy wheels and a new front-end treatment to set them apart from less powerful Lagunas.

Available with a 205bhp turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine or a 180bhp 2.0 dCi turbodiesel, both models come with Renault’s active drive chassis which uses the rear wheels to steer – either in line with the fronts for higher speed stability or turning in the opposite direction to aid slow-speed manoeuvrability.

Prices will be announced closer to launch.
