You'd be very surprised how little of it you feel - if anything the steering wheel feels incredibly connected to the road. Here's a test of the car a few years ago:

Renault Megane RS265 Review | CarAdvice

Quote: "Despite the additional power output going to the front wheels of the Renault Megane RS265, torque steer simply doesn’t exist. That’s almost entirely the result of the Megane RS’s independent steering axis, which separates the front suspension from the damper"

I haven't tracked it personally but check this out for some point of reference
