Renaultsport will be unveiling the Renaultsport Megane R26 R at the 2008 British International Motor Show.

Based on the current R26 Megane, the Renaultsport team have made some changes to the suspension, added a shorter throw gearchange and have put the Megane on a diet. The crazy French have tossed out the rear seats, fitted a carbon fibre bonnet, carbon shelled seats and polycarbonate rear window shedding a massive 125Kg. With this weight loss they’re claiming 0-100 in 6 seconds creating a real track weapon.

Looks wise, you’re either going to love it or hate it, those red wheels aren’t for everyone. But there’s no denying that this is one hardcore, track focused hot hatch.
