Renault may be losing its grip on the Formula One title race, but it's going for broke with a limited-edition version of the
Renaultsport Megane.
The snappily named
Megane Renaultsport 230 F1 Team R26 is based on the usual hot Mégane but with the 2.0-litre turbo engine pumped up to 230bhp, helped by a new exhaust.
Handily, the new engine also has lower carbon-dioxide emissions than the previous F1 Team model, so you can do your bit for the environment while hooning around.
The
R26, as we prefer to call it, also comes with a limited slip differential to improve cornering traction, and new suspension settings to further sharpen the drive.
Identifying features include blacked-out 18in alloy wheels and optional team decals, and the lovely lurid shade of yellow shown here.
The order book for the limited-edition R26 opens at the end of October, and every car comes with a numbered plaque on the dash. The cost to you: £19,570.
