2009 - Renaultsport Megane R26.R, turbocharged 2.0-litre inline-four, delivering 227bhp and 230lb-ft of torque to the front wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.
Finished in Lunar Grey (one of only 21 made for the UK) and I think the best colour.
This being Number #049. In total, just 230 of the 450 Renaultsport Megane R26.Rs produced were destined for the UK market
Mileage 38K
MOT 3 May 2025
This is highly focused driver's car. In my opinion a perfect road legal track day weapon. With an exceptional history.
Originally been purchased by RS Tuning to run as their development show car. Having previously run a forged engine it was replaced with a documented 24K R26R engine along with belts and fluids to the turn the car back to standard in 2019. ALL work documented and carried out by RS Tuning

The French firm has decided to salute the end of the successful generation of Renaultsport Megane models with the R26.R, a highly-specialised version optimised for track and fast road conditions which highlights the true capabilities of the car.
Available only in three-door, the Megane R26.R is unmistakable in its intentions thanks to some obvious cosmetic and performance enhancements.
