Interior changes see the deletion of the air conditioning, stereo and back seat while the Recaro Sportser CS seats are exchanged for Recaro fixed polycarbonate buckets trimmed with leather and alcantara. The front brakes are changed to a 350mm rotor (up 10mm) while using the same calipers & rear brakes. Öhlins dampers, 19" Speedline Turini wheels and Michelin Pilot Cup 2 tyres replace the KYB dampers, 19" Steev wheels and Bridgestone Potenza RE050A/Continental ContiSportContact 5P tyres used to date. 275 TROPHY has a raft of changes, starting with a little more power courtesy of the Akrapovič titanium exhaust bringing power up to 275 PS (202 kW 271 bhp).

With Laurent Hurgon driving, the record was reclaimed with a Nürburgring lap time of 7:54.36. In response to SEAT setting a new record for a FWD production car at the Nürburgring race track with the LEON CUPRA 280 at 7:58.4 and taking the title RENAULT earned during 3 years with the MEGANE 265 TROPHY, since 2011, with a time of 8:07.97, RENAULT developed the 275 TROPHY - R to retake the title a few weeks after.
