R26R. It's been out since last year. I spoke to the owner of one in December.

RSR in Nurburg have one you can hire for the Nurburgring Nordschleife

i owned a liquid yellow r26 for 18 months , only got rid of it last month cos i needed to turn the meggy into 2 cars

ive got one word ...... awesome
rstuning remap stage one will see 255bhp and 270lb
stage 2 (just released on general sale ) will see 270bhp and 295lb
with NO other mods except panel filter and zorst

i cannot praise these cars highly enuff , they are leagues above the vxrs and st focus in every aspect in my view , the vxr is fraction quicker to 60 but i hated the test drive ,
only slight and i mean slight downside is a vaguish gearbox
but the recaros more than make up for it
with remap will keep up with most things on the road , now i know people bang on about my car will keep with anything and im the 1st to critisise these people , but once the off the line traction issue is out the way then it is quite rapid ,
and the turbo whistle from the engine is quite addictive
my advice BUY ONE!!

sounds good,its hard to find something to emulate the performance of my 250bhp classic ppp.Try finding a car that can match its performance figures,impossible unless you spend big money...
