Only 8,701 km from new
Rare R26R model, last one produced (No. 126/126)
One registered keeper

The Appeal

The Renault Megane R26.R is a sought-after high-performance model, known for its performance and rarity. This particular example is the last one produced, numbered 126 out of 126. An uncompromising, track-focused hot hatch, it was designed to set a new front-wheel-drive production car lap record at the Nürburgring, going round in just 8 minutes and 17 seconds.

With only 8,701 km on the clock, this 2008 car is not only a rare find but also a fantastic example. As a first-owner vehicle, it has been beautifully maintained, and as the photographs show, it presents impeccably.
