SB's Take

  • Understated example of the limited-edition hot hatch
  • Presented in original condition with just over 42,000 miles from new
  • Powered by a 230bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four, which drives the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential
A modern classic in the making, this 2007 Renaultsport Mégane R26 F1 Team is one of the finest hot hatches of its era — and this example, with just over 42,000 miles on the clock, is a rare find in such original, low-mileage condition. It should come as no surprise that all of us at SB HQ sat up and took notice when this R26 came across our desks and we're thrilled to be re-listing it on the platform. Finished in gleaming Silver with contrasting anthracite 18-inch alloys, this limited-edition model celebrates Renault’s 2006 F1 Constructors’ Championship win as well as Fernando Alonso's second World Driver’s Championship behind the wheel of the Renault R26 F1 car. While not quite packing the punch of Alonso’s car, under the bonnet of this hot hatch sits a 230bhp 2.0L turbocharged engine, paired to a slick 6-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential, giving it a punchy, planted feel through every twist and turn. The R26 wasn’t just a sticker pack (despite this example being slightly more discreet with just the Renault F1 Team graphics on the front wings and doors); it came factory-equipped with uprated Cup suspension, Brembo brakes, and Recaro bucket seats, making it a true driver’s machine. From B-road blasts to track day thrills, the R26 offers the kind of analog feedback that’s all but vanished in today’s computer-assisted world. With its low mileage, manual transmission, and enthusiast pedigree, this example is a superb addition to any modern performance collection. Fewer and fewer unmolested R26s remain — and even fewer with such low miles. Whether you’re a collector or a driver who simply appreciates an old-school turbocharged hoon, this silver bullet is ready to be enjoyed immediately. This vehicle has been re-listed on account of the previous winning buyer not having sufficient funds in place to make the purchase. As always, the seller is available to answer all questions via the Comments section below. Buyers should bid with complete confidence.

Finally, all cars on Shooting Brake are run through a 3rd party online vehicle checker, MotorSpecs (note, this does not include a mileage history check). This particular vehicle throws up no insurance claims for damage or theft and has no outstanding finance owing. Nonetheless, we strongly encourage all bidders to undertake their own due diligence prior to placing any bid. It is entirely reasonable for any classic or enthusiast vehicle to have undergone cosmetic repairs that could otherwise go undetected from the provided photos or by any in-person inspection. Unless the seller explicitly states otherwise, assume that any vehicle or item listed may have undergone bodywork or paintwork at some point. Additionally, photographs may not accurately represent the vehicle’s true overall condition. It is the bidder’s responsibility to verify the condition, and any past repairs—including bodywork or paintwork—before placing a bid or making a purchase. If you have any questions or queries, please use the Comments section to firstly ask the Seller directly before placing any bids. Shooting Brake tries to portray the item listed as accurately as possible through detailed questions asked to the seller but would like to remind users that all vehicles are sold as seen and, as per all goods purchased at auction, there is a No Return policy.
