Appears to be RS Tunings latest toy. I see it pretty much every day going down my street. They used to have a rather tasty Evo before, and a R26R.
That R26R was fully forged running (are you sitting down) 511hp!!
fking hell

would love to see that in action, R26R being the sportiest megane? aren't they front wheel drive?
Yup. The RS Tuning car was grey, bit more info on it here - http://www.scenestatusmagazine.com/SceneStatus/rs-...

Dyno video with slightly lesd power here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe1qPtHGoSk

A white one? If so, owned by a a guy called John from York I think. Does sound proper mental on full chat!
Paul's R26r was grey.. He had it up for sale as it was (although I think power was wound down to 'only' 476hp) but it didn't sell..

He ended up selling the engine and all the bits that went with it and putting his car back to standard. I know the old high power engine went into a white R26, this may be the one in York. I've no idea though.

What Megane is he building at the minute Phil? He's just got a massive turbo for it!

This is/was his Lunar Grey one.

I don't know much about the new one..

I'm sure I read the turbo has the flow for the 8/900's, not sure if that's what he's after or not? I'd guess at its quite likely though!

I heard a rumour that around a track the R26R was slower after it had the big power upgrades hehe

Any truth in this?

This morning, a matte blue F10 M5 on Bootham and on Lendal Bridge a black 53 reg Corsa with a smiley on the right side of the rear window and the Pistonheads URL on the left side.

Yesterday evening I saw a matte black Q7 on Clarence Street.

Also, there was a white A3 in a bus stop at the train station with some of the front end missing the wheel was hanging off with the tyre only half on, the strange thing is though, the was no debris and it wasn't there 10 minutes earlier and the car seemingly abandoned, nobody near the car, it was just sat with it's hazards on. It had gone less than an hour later.

Classy!

That reminds me of my Harrogate spot yesterday - a black Merc 'E550 AMG' that gave a big sooty black derv puff when he overtook a learner on a solid white line.

Perhaps they're related?

Saw a new Fiesta ST in orange, private plate that began with 'S18', at Clifton Moor about 8pm.
