Anyone seen this on RenaultSports facebook? Looks like they are finally going to do something about being top again. #Under8
The french forum has more images from the ring and more info 'leaked' carbon buckets harnesses seen in video ohlins suspension no rear wiper cup 2 tyres akrapovic (black exhaust surround in vid) speedline rims rumoured plastic rear windows (how they tell from the video screenshots i dont know) sounds amazing. Hopefully ads can get us a deal on some oem aftermarket parts
I wouldn't buy a stripped out Megane without proper seats but I'm all for Renault making one Fantastic news. Exciting stuff!
Theres a video of 2 of them testing, the one with the black exhaust trim sounds different too. renaults twitter says 'save the date june 16'
So is this going to be a special that you can actually buy from the showroom or are Renault doing a 'Seat' and playing them at their own game just to beat it.
This is the image posted by Renaultsport earlier today on their Facebook page, looks like another R26.R to me, exciting stuff
Under 8 is a pretty good time in a standard hatch! I need 430bhp to break the 8 min barrier LOL! (Although that is in a heavier Ford Focus)
Luke i NEED this new car in my life. Please tell me the UK will be getting whatever comes out of this?
I,l second that, my cars due up for replacement this year, I tossed up if to buy a r26r or a clio and went with the clio a few year back, always regret not getting a r26r then hung on to the clio longer then I wanted to just waiting for last of the line , but no Williams or any thing like. il cross my fingers and hang on till June then , , lol
Luke. I am interested. And Im out at the ring that week too working as a photographer. Let me know if you or RUK need anything.
Ruin them tbh, I can see Trophy prices going the same way as RS250 prices when its released. I was in my local RS dealer yesterday as well, They know something but won't tell me anymore until its been officially released. I was the first to query about it though so my name is down for a test drive/purchase as soon as they release it and have them available.
Trophy values are no different to a regular 265, and let's be honest, no one buys a renaultsport as an investment !!!! If you were worried about depreciation you should've bought a German motor
Get in there , it just shows how good the (old) so to speak R is, if they ran a stage 1 R round with some better tyres they would more than likely get it round in under 8 mins , I'm sure I read somewhere that they did on a much cooler day, it's not about ring lap times for me as I'm not that bothered it's the way they drive and make you feel, oh and the fact I've lost no money
You got to wonder that if the "RSR" Megane is being revealed to the world in mid June with the #under8 banner, that Renault have already gone faster then Seat and taken back said record????.
No I imagine they have a car that they are working on and they start testing it on the ring to beat the record in June.
Leaving it a bit late Will what with weather and stuff, plus all the hype with the #under8 bit, , , unless you heard something on the Renault grapevine mate lol.
I want to see a 350bhp AWD evo-killer Megané. If power keeps going up its surely got to go that way.
