Renault Megane R26.R Review | A Serious Hot-Hatch!

The Renault Megane R26.R is one of our favourite cars we have had the pleasure to bring onto the channel with its stripped racing interior & incredible cornering speeds.
In this this episode of 'Living Legends' we pay tribute to one of the best hot-hatches of all time!

This was my R26R car. I still run a R26, but highly modified.

[@DrivenPlus]

Cool!

[@seekingtruth3228]

Love this car. Can't wait for mine to arrive to join my Phase1 Clio V6 and R5 Turbo 2. Three Generations of R A D I C A L

[@DrivenPlus]

Wow! Sounds like a great collection you have there! And especially with the R26.2

[@seekingtruth3228]

@@DrivenPlus Evolved over many years of collecting Renaults and other unique sought after cars. Try to work on all of them myself too. Always a treat at Cars and Coffee with the elder crowd as well as the younger crowd that have never seen these cars and only know them from playing the Grand Turismo Video game.

i never forgot these cars! its a damn shame we never get propper hot hatches like these in America! and when these cars become legal after the stupid 25 year rule these will be extremely expensive

[@davidbarrett8058]

Fun fact... the gearbox is actually is actually from the Nissan X- trail. The Turbo was Mitsubishi

[@Trophy_R]

Only reason mine is sorn off the road is I’m using my MK4 Trophy R 😊

[@nickmitchell6443]

I always wanted one of these

[@Jon.Rogers]

The purest of focused hot hatchbacks.

[@DrivenPlus]

Definitely!

[@100kmp]

Amazing it's a shame that Renault Sport is no more.

[@froggy0162]

That bonnet is pure marketing. The standard bonnet on these is very small and weighs bugger all in steel, but the carbon one looks cool :)

[@Trophy_R]

They’re a weapon on Track alright, my Trophy R is faster everywhere but my R26.R is so special I’ll never sell it even after owning if for over 10 years, it’s such a special place to be inside and mega on track and a B road

[@DrivenPlus]

Never sell it! It’s a special car you’re completely right. Hell of a car!

[@fderon]

lucky you!!

[@bigginhillant]

titanium exhaust was not standard £2500 extra if i remember 14 kilos lighter and i think only 96 of the 230 r26r came to the uk in the end great video i love mine

[@DrivenPlus]

What’s the name of the road you did this road test on, looks mega

[@DrivenPlus]

It’s called the Denbigh Moors (average speed cameras unfortunately)

[@steveh8]
