The R26.R offers a chassis without compromise The suspension and brakes have been modified to make the most of the new, lighter weight and to provide the maximum performance. The front independent suspension is maintained but with the following new parts: New front springs (14mm/100kg compared to 13.4mm/100kg) New rear springs (16.2mm/100kg from 15.1mm/100kg) The shock absorber settings are also re-calibrated
the brake discs are grooved instead of drilled. New alloy wheels are fitted with a different offset increasing the track by 4mm. Toyo Proxes R888 225/40R18. Stiffer lower arm bushes

To maximise traction, the R26.R retains the limited slip differential from the Mégane Renaultsport 230 F1 Team R26. This is a mechanical differential with helical teeth and retains the same transfer rate of 33%. The combination of this limited slip differential and independent steering-axis front suspension minimises torque steer and enables the power to be applied earlier during cornering.

The R26.R has powerful brakes that are resistant to fade. Fitted with large 312mm ventilated discs at the front with Brembo four-piston callipers that provide maximum stopping power. To resist fade, the discs are grooved as opposed to drilled.

With 230hp on tap the R26.R has the same engine and gearbox from the Mégane Renaultsport 230 F1 Team R26. This develops a peak power of 230hp and torque of 310Nm. A characteristic of this engine is the wide power band, with 90% of the torque available from 2000 to 6000rpm. However, to reduce the gear change time, a short-shift gearlever is fitted.

The R26.R accelerates from zero to 62mph in 6 seconds. The combined fuel consumption is 33.2 mpg and emissions are 199g/km.

In June 2008 the Megane R26.R set a new lap record for a front wheel drive car at the Nurburgring with a time of just 8 minutes 17 seconds. To commemorate this exceptional level of performance, the circuit outline and lap time is engraved in the rear side windows.
