Second generation (YYYY–2008)

Megane R26.R

06 renaultsport r26r press.jpg

The 2008 London Motor Show played host to the unveiling of Renault's new 450 unit limited edition track-ready variant of the Megane (and road-legal version of the Megane RS 230 F1 Team R26), the Megane R26.R. Motivation comes from the race car's 230 Hp 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, however, mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a short-shift gear linkage, a limited slip differential and a weight reduction of 271 lbs. This means the R26.R can accelerate from naught to 100 kph in 6 seconds and, impressively, turn out 27.7 mpg (8.5 lt/100km or 33.2 UK mpg). However, the R26.R's party piece is its official Nürburgring lap time of 8 minutes and 17 seconds. While not as impressive as the Nissan GT-R or Porsche 911 Turbo's low 7 min 20-something second times, this makes the R26.R comfortably the fastest Front-engined, FWD car round the fearsome German circuit. Prices begin at £22,990 OTR ($46,000 or €29,000) and will only be available in select western European countries. [6]
