INSANELY EPIC HOT HATCH: Renault Megane R.S. R26! // Nürburgring

[@Humur0ustrax]

This is my old R26 which I had for 8 years! SO happy to see it in action as it should be and delivering the same emotions that I remember so fondly 💙 credit to the new owner!

Can you please tell me where I can buy such great looking carbon/blue custom clock/speedometer dials?

[@sergiogonzalez8080]

I love how you can see every emotion the owner's feeling across the whole lap - the wipperman face is great! Nice build, looks fun to drive

[@harielbg]

yeah i was so focused on his reactions that sometimes forgot to watch the road! glad i'm not the driver!

His smile says the words he didn't, "I didn't know my car could do that!". You can see the eureka moment in real time. I love that.

The smile on his face is amazing, what an experience.

[@djcrossie]

Thanks to the owner for letting Misha drive the car for us to enjoy but for also just enjoying the lap and keeping his phone in his pocket

[@egocd]

I had a stock R26 Megane and it was fantastic to drive. The interior rattled, squeaked and fell apart, but the drive was awesome. Also very reliable, comfortable and economical on longer trips.

[@jadeq.1410]

[@lucadaia3830]

You can not even imagine how long I waited for a video with the Gen 2 Megane. You had a video for almost every Renault Sport, but this.

[@BlueHopi144]

This is one of Renault's best RS ever build !!! the shape , the style , the power , sticky in the corners ! Will be buying one next year here in France where so many are still available but not a R26 - way too expensive & rare . I love my Twingo Rs , fantastic cart car for small roads .... but a Megane is something special .

[@JW-qf2fx]

they are good on the road but the interior build quality is awful

[@lucadaia3830]

Same here. I own a Twingo RS with the CUP pack. I needed a fun car to drive to work and I had to choose between the Twingo and the Megane. Twingo is really amazing, but I hope I hope I will buy a megane next year. Same in Romania, you can find a Megane RS for 4-7000 euros, but R26 is always more than 10-11K

[@FabioFTazz]

I had one some years ago. I had a rs3 and now an a45. I drove a lot of cars, m4, c63, gtr, but that r26… Probably the car that made me want to drive the most. What a chassis for cornering

[@BlackE81]

This lad was on a rollercoaster of emotions and i loved every second of it

[@Harrycorn122]

Why the bmw logos?😂

[@brassmonkeegaming8583]

A friend of mine has a fully stripped track R26 in Liquid Yellow. We recently upgraded the turbo to a 2867r and was mapped to 390hp. The car shifts! Such a fun chassis.

[@young3nsinglej]

I'll keep sayin' it: give me a well set up, manual hot hatch over a big money exotic aaannyyy day 🙌 The joy on his face was so nice to see. I really hope he brings this back with the tweeks you suggested 🙏

[@gsom7]

Misha, one suggestion, let the owner represent his car! You, and we, will get more info of the car. He said 230 hp, that means this is R26.R! Special version of R26, (lightweight, no back seats,... like race ready) that made same awesome records in his time, even on Nurburgring in his class beating some other special cars like Focus RS!

[@BarryHaughey]

@gdom7 i have one of these lovely cars... They're all 225hp from the factory, but really easy to tune, a simple RStuning chip takes it up to 267hp + 287 lbs/ft (40kgfm). Add an exhaust, intercooler & uprated injectors = 300+hp & 350 lbs/ft (48 kgfm). Costs less than 1k £or€. Also its a Very lightweight car @1200kg less than the standard 1 by 80kg.

[@bevo9296]

no mate sorry it’s a r26. 225 came with 224 and the r26 came with 230 just like the R. if you look my bonnet isn’t carbon and i don’t have poly windows! The R26R is my dream car tho :)

one of my favorite laps simply because the owner was truly enjoying himself and genuinely impressed and surprised at how fast he didn't know his car was.

[@grggi35]

Thanks for showing your Racecar Sir 🙏 Empathizing with you was fun as well. All the best for you and misha 🍀

[@lacfilms8345]

Quick run. Light and fast with decent handling. Driving a slow car fast, is better than driving a fast car slow. I would recommend for future videos, that all owners clean their windshields before handing over the keys to Misha.

[@ProjectCamper]

Always liked the r26, this shows how great Renault and Misha are at one, great lap 👍

[@w0nd3rlu573r]

Thank you Misha for creating the next generation of enthusiasts. Amazing Megane!

[@Wucked1]

I had an R26 a few years back. It has been one of my favorite cars to date. So much fun to drive!

[@tomellingham8627]

Megane's are Ace. Seriously. I remember seeing this model of Mégane at the 2002 or 2003 Birmingham motor show. The safest production car in the world at that point, even the headrests were designed to minimise whiplash. Very futuristic looking and wonderful car, and still many many around. I hope Renault produces such epic hot hatches in the future. They are legendary.

[@ena-heraki-minio]

This is indeed EPIC. What a car.

[@sammyjjoo]

This car R26 is very sweet: love it!

I have only sim experience driving meganes but I've always felt that they are one of the most oversteering in a fun kind of way fwd cars and this video proves it.

[@666louis]

On the slim chance of anybody owning a R26 is reading this: Mine just threw a P0243 code, indicating some failure in the Turbocharger Wastegate Solenoid. The part is called a N75 and is no longer available from Renault. Did anyone replace it successfully with a VW part? They used these in a lot of their Turbo models and they look very similar, but as far as I understand, they can still vary in terms inner resistance, potentially affecting the boost created.
