Description
2008 RENAULT MEGANE R26R (No. 126/126)
Vehicle registration document: French
Chassis number: VF1CM2H9640300479
• Car 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 specification
• Supplied with its original documents, service record book, handbooks and maintenance history
Unveiled in 2008 by Renault Sport, the Mégane R26.R is the most radically track-focused 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 in particular through the use of a carbon-fibre bonnet, polycarbonate side windows and rear window, Sabelt bucket seats with carbon-fibre shells, as well as the removal of soundproofing material and the rear bench seat.
In terms of handling, the model features a bespoke suspension set-up and a mechanical limited-slip differential. Upon its launch, the Mégane R26.R made a lasting impression by setting 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 car on offer bears number 126 from the series allocated to France. Purchased new by a Renault dealer, it has been kept in the dealer’s collection. It is a first-ownership car, with just 8,500 km on the odometer.
Preserved in its original delivery condition, with no known modifications, this R26.R comes with its original documents, service history book and a file detailing its maintenance history. The timing belt has been replaced at some point during its history. More recently, a service carried out at an authorised Renault centre involved a general inspection of the vehicle and the 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 car, its low mileage of 8,500 km and its preserved original specification. Its provenance from a Renault dealer and its documented history make it a particularly interesting example for Renault Sport enthusiasts.
