2009 Rare Renault R26R in Lunar Grey Pearl For Sale SOLD

Already tipped by the motoring press to be a future classic, I'm sure no one would disagree that the Renault Sport R26R ticks all the boxes and deserves such status. Launched in 2008, just as the worlds finances were about to plummet, 230 cars were to be sold in the UK with only a reported 159 finding owners.

The car was developed by Renaultsport and built at the old Alpine factory at Dieppe. Although the 227BHP power of the standard R26 was retained, the extra speed and handling was greatly improved by lightening the car by some 120kg, making it the hottest hatch on The Nurburgring at the time with a faster lap time than a Porsche Cayman S, that's no mean feat and Renault proudly display the 8. 17 lap time on the rear windows of the R26R.

The lightness and improved performance was achieved by stripping out unwanted items such as the rear seats!, the rear glass was replaced by polycarbonate and a carbon fibre bonnet fitted. Handling was improved by uprating the suspension and fitting Brembo brakes, sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Tyres (still fitted today) and a R26R limited slip diff with short shift gear change. For the occupants, Sabelt Carbon Shell Racing seats with six point harniess' keep you secure and an optional Roll Cage was also available.

Our car, numbered 049/ 230 is a late registered 2009 car and is finished in the optional Lunar Grey Pearlescent paintwork with the Interlagos 18" wheels finished in contrast red, the optional roll cage is fitted, also finished in red - the price new was £24, 890. Although these cars were never destined for the pampered life of others, the condition is still fabulous with only a few age related chips visible and the slightest sign of wear on the drivers seat.

To complete the package, especially valuable for future classic status, the Renaultsport Launch Edition package is with the car and is complete with price and option list, hardback launch book, key, 1 lap ticket for The Nordschleife and a DVD of the 8. 17 lap. The original book pack with R26R specific information and stamped up service book is also present along with numerous invoices. Both keys are available and have the specific 049/ 230 R26R keyrings.

We will add more photos and a video presentation when (if) the weather improves.
