Renault Megane R26.R

The Renault Megane R26.R reaches 60 mph in 5.60 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.22 s, tripping the lights at 96.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.23 s and the eighth mile in 9.16 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Megane R26.R

The 2008 Renault Megane R26.R is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,252 kg with 227 bhp, which works out at 181 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.23 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,734th quickest to 60 mph, and the 6th quickest of the 48 Renaults here. It leaves better than it pulls: 96.9 mph at the lights is only the 1,984th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Renault Megane R26.R is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
