"There are a couple ways to tell that a car model is built for the track. One is when you can order it with an optional roll cage. Second, but no less important and even more impressive, is when the car has recorded the fastest lap in its class around the infamous Nürburgring. The Megane R26.R can claim both. At eight minutes, seventeen seconds it was the fastest front-wheel production car in 2008. There were only 450 models built as the extreme version of the popular Megane, turning the already quick Renault Sport 230 F1 Team R26 into true compact track weaponry."
—Official description[1]

The 2008 Renault Mégane R26.R - abbreviated as "Mégane R26.R" or "Ren. Megane '08" - is a front-wheel drive super hot hatch by Renault.

It appears in Forza Horizon 4 as a Horizon Life reward since Update 17 and in all subsequent main series titles.

Synopsis[]

The 2008 Megane R26.R preceeds the 2010 Renault Megane R.S. 250. It is a limited production model based on the second generation Renault Mégane that set a new lap record for front-wheel drive production cars on the Nürburgring. Only 450 units were built.[2]

Engine and drivetrain[]

Based on the commemorative F1 Team R26 special edition model, it is powered by a 2 liter turbocharged engine with 227 hp (169 kW) and 228 ft·lb (309 N·m) of torque. The transmission is a 6-speed manual.

Platform[]

Designed as a hardcore sports car, the R26.R has a stripped-out interior lacking creature comforts and sound insulation, as well as a standard roll cage.[3] Weighing 2712 lb (1230 kg), it is the second lightest Super Hot Hatch in Forza Horizon 4 after the Renault Clio R.S. 16 Concept.
