Description
2008 Renault Megane 2.0 RS230 F1 Team R26
HIGHLIGHTS:
Few hot hatches have earned the reputation enjoyed by the Renault Megane RS230 F1 Team R26. Developed as a special edition celebrating Renault’s Formula 1 success, the R26 combined the already capable Megane RS platform with the Cup-spec chassis, sharper suspension setup and a mechanical limited-slip differential. The result is widely regarded as one of the most rewarding front-wheel-drive performance cars of its era, making the R26 especially desirable among driving enthusiasts today.
Presented here is a 2008 Renault Megane 2.0 RS230 F1 Team R26 supplied new by Renault Malaysia, finished in its original Liquid Yellow and showing 159,313 km. The current owner has held the car since 2016 when it had approximately 40k kms. The car retains its original interior and features the numbered R26 build plaque along with the distinctive F1 Team graphics package. Inside, the driver-focused cabin includes Leather & Alcantara Recaro Trendline sport seats, climate control, cruise control with speed limiter, auto wipers and xenon headlamps.
This example benefits from several performance-focused upgrades including an ITG intake, short-shift kit, steel braided brake lines, EBC Yellowstuff brake pads and Eibach suspension paired with the Cup-spec chassis. The car also retains its key factory performance features such as the mechanical helical LSD, Brembo braking system and 18-inch anthracite alloy wheels. Maintained at RSC Advance Glenmarie and last serviced in January 2026, the car remains accident and flood free. The windscreen has been replaced and the front half of the car repainted. A slight knock from the front left was previously observed, and the lower arm was replaced. The interior shows slight wear on the door panels consistent with use.
