Lapping 'The Ring' // Renault Megane R26.R

In proper French fashion, Renault was looking to take some of the glory from its rival auto makers, when it set the new lap record for fastest production class FWD vehicle. Renault's over the top Megane R26.R laid down a 8m 17s lap at the ring, a far cry from the Corvette ZR1 or Nissan GT-R, but then again, the R26.R is running on two liters and 230bhp. Impressive. French. We like it // 07.25.2008
