2008 British Motor Show: 2008 Renault Megane R26.R
Renault has made some great cars - but the new Megane R26.R is not one of these. It is true that it lapped the Nurburgring in 8:17 - which is a record for production FWD cars and made sure that people knew of this accomplishment by etching it in the rear windows.
The .R is built with a carbon-fiber hood, titanium exhaust, and polycarbonate windows. The interior of the vehicle is much to be desired - but because it is for the F1 Team R26 it doesn’t need much. The changes all add up to a significant 271 lbs. The .R also uses stiffer suspension with custom geometry, track tires and upgraded brakes. The package results in a 0-60 time of 6.0 seconds, and that all important lap record, probably making this the best driving FWD car of all time.
