2008 RENAULT MEGANE R26R (No. 126/126)
Vehicle Registration Certificate: French
Chassis Number: VF1CM2H9640300479
• Unit No. 126 of the 126 allocated to the French market, out of a total production run of 450 units
• First owner; purchased new by a Renault dealer and kept in his collection
• Original mileage of 8,500 km and entirely original configuration
• Comes with its original documents, service record, owner’s manuals, and maintenance history
Unveiled in 2008 by Renault Sport, the Mégane R26.R is the most radically track-oriented variant of the Mégane II RS. Designed with weight reduction in mind, it is 123 kg lighter than the Mégane F1 Team R26. This weight reduction is achieved primarily through the use of a carbon-fiber hood, polycarbonate side windows and rear window, Sabelt bucket seats with carbon-fiber shells, as well as the removal of sound deadening material and the rear bench seat.
In terms of handling, the model features a specialized suspension setup and a mechanical limited-slip differential. Upon its release, the Mégane R26.R made a lasting impression by clocking a time of 8 minutes and 17 seconds on the northern loop of the Nürburgring, the famous Nordschleife. Production was limited to 450 units, 126 of which were destined for the French market.
The vehicle presented here is number 126 in the series allocated to France. Purchased new by a Renault dealer, it has been preserved in the dealer’s collection. It is a first-owner vehicle, with only 8,500 km on the odometer.
Preserved in its original delivery configuration, with no known modifications, this R26.R comes with its original documents, service log, and a file detailing its maintenance history. The timing belt was replaced at some point during its history. More recently, service performed at a Renault dealership included a general inspection of the vehicle and replacement of the fuel gauge.
Bearing number 126 in the series reserved for the French market, this Renault Mégane R26.R stands out for being a first-owner vehicle, its low mileage of 8,500 km, and its preserved original configuration. Its provenance from a Renault dealer and its documented history make it a particularly interesting example for Renault Sport enthusiasts.
