Video: Renault Mégane R26.R laps the Nurburgring

July 23rd 2008 11:15

The limited edition Mégane R26.R is the last and hottest iteration of the current generation Renault Mégane with a blistering Nurburgring lap time of 8min 17s - the fastest ever time for a front-wheel drive car on the famous racetrack.

Powered by the same 169 kW 2.0-litre turbocharged engine from the Mégane F1 edition, the R26.R's engine is mated to a manual six-speed gearbox with a shorter linkage for even quicker gearshifts. Due to a heavy weight-loss program, the Mégane R26.R weighs a mere 1,230 kg which allows it to accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h in 6.0 seconds and to cover the standing start kilometre in a mere 25.9s.

On June 23, 2008, the Renault Mégane R26.R took to the famous Nordschleife circuit of the Nurburgring to record 8min 17s and here's the video of that run.

Renault Laguna Coupe on the Monaco Grand Prix circuit

This promotional video shows the Aston Martin lookalike being put through its paces by two test drivers from the Renault F1 team - Lucas di Grassi and Romain Grosjean. The BMW 3-series coupe competitor is powered by two V6 engines and boasts four-wheel steering developed jointly by Renault Engineering and specialists from Renault Sport Technologies.
