Lightweight DNA
To improve the power to weight ratio, the MĂ©gane R26.R has been on a strict diet, losing 123kg compared to the standard R26. This has been achieved by the removal of:
Rear seats and seat belts
Passenger airbag and curtain airbags (the driver’s airbag remains)
Climate control (air conditioning remains as standard)
Rear wash/wipe and heated rear window
Front fog lamps
Headlamp washers
Radio/CD player
Most of the soundproofing
Other new elements are:
carbon fibre bonnet (saves 7.5kg)
tailgate and rear side windows in polycarbonate (saves 5.7kg)
Sabelt seats with carbon fibre shell and aluminium base (saves 25kg)
Six-point harnesses
Rear spoiler
Optional roll cage
Optional titanium exhaust
A chassis without compromise
The suspension and brakes have been optimised to make the most of the new, lighter weight and to provide 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, not drilled
new alloy wheels are fitted with a different offset increasing the track by 4mm
Toyo Proxes R888 225/40R18 tyres are available as an option in place of the standard Michelin Pilot Sport 2 235/40R18
