EXTERIOR
Finished in a brilliant coat of Glacier White the R26.R is unmistakable at a glance; with its red vinyl pack, contrasting carbon fibre bonnet and rear spoiler making it immediately clear this is no run of the mill family hatchback. The 18″ Gloss black wheels come as part of the gloss black styling pack, as do the mirrors, which contrast the white finish beautifully.

Overall condition of the car is very good, with nothing more than a handful of light stone chips across the front bumper to note. Carbon bonnet is also free from the usual heat discoloration after being recently replaced by the owner with new a genuine bonnet.

INTERIOR
The figure hugging Sabelt seats offer supreme support without compromise, in good condition showing excellent shape and contour they proudly show the R26.R nomenclature stitched into the headrests.

Red stitching pulls the exterior red flashes into the interior with the colour scheme continuing to the race harnesses and huge optional red roll cage which dominates the rear interior space. Creature comforts come in the form of a retrofitted Megane CD/FM radio and factory A/C which bring welcome relief when commuting to and from the track.

This particular model is number 8 of 230 units in the UK as shown by its interior plaque.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The Megane RS R26.R pushes out 230 bhp from it’s 2.0L turbocharged 16 valve, 4 cylinder engine giving a great punch when on the road or track. It provides a great punch when on the road or track, propelling the car from 0-60 in just 5.9 seconds with a limited-slip differential to a keep everything in check.

With a full service history comprising of 10 stamps and the most recent service in December 19, just 77 miles ago, the car is in excellent mechanical order.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The gloss black alloys are in fine cosmetic order having been recently refurbished. Front wheels are wrapped in Pirelli P-Zeros whilst the rear is shod in a set of Michelin Pilot Sports.

The key to all Renaultsport Megane variants has always been the way they handle, and this model is no exception. The combination of grip, steering feel and balance when cornering is staggering at this price point with the car rightly lauded upon launch
