The Renault Megane Renaultsport R26.R is the actual analogue of hot hatch. Renault takes the rather banal Megane, strips out the rear bench in favor of a cycle cage, adds a beggarly 2.0 Liter 4 banger blame out 230 horsepower, and gives the baby auto the bumper-to-bumper Renaultsport treatment.
The aftereffect is absolutely what you ability think: a hardly strange-looking Renault Megane with a cycle cage. With the rear bear addle-brain and affluence of go-fast bling, the R26.R should address to a appropriate brand of auto enthusiasts. Others ability alarm the accommodation the actual antipode of what a sports car should attending like.
Lucky for Renault, the Megane Renaultsport R26.R is not depending alone on its exoteric for artery cred and sales. The hotted-up Megane is reportedly a dream to drive, accepting bankrupt the all-important Nurburgring lap time almanac for advanced caster drive assembly cars, with a time of 8 minutes, 17 seconds.
For the record, that puts the Megane R26.R active the 'Ring faster than the BMW E46 M3, the Lotus Exige S, and the Honda NSX. A austere ability for a adored abridgement car with a abject amount of £22,990. Plus £700 for the cycle cage.
