Renault Megane R26.R Record Setting Ring Run

Going into its debut at the British International Motor Shows last week, Renault's Mégane R26.R already claims bragging rights for new lap record in Nürburgring, Germany with a time of 8m 17s.

With only 450 units to be produced, the R26.R is based on the Mégane F1 Team R26 and uses the same engine and six-speed gearbox. However, the R26.R has been lightened by 123kg and features specific suspension calibration.
