Compared to slightly larger cars, we can say that it is impressive Renault 5 Gordini Turbo from the 80s (with unconventional rear traction and special homologation) is definitely a hot topic and our favorite.

Characteristic of the small number of Group 4 and Group B destined for the rally, the Renault 5 has a relatively modest 1.4 liter engine powered by a staggering 160 horsepower (in regular, road form) that powers this miniature car.

It is important to emphasize that the engine was removed under the hood and located behind the driver and front passenger, where the rear seat was removed.

With rear wheel drive and acceleration from 0-100 km / h in 7 seconds, this car achieves a top speed of 200km / h.

The Turbo prototype appeared as early as 1978 at the Paris Motor Show, and since 1980 has proven itself to be an extremely good model, recording victories at the 1981 Monte Carlo and Corsica 1982 rallies.

The car you see in the photos was manufactured in 1983 and was retained by one of its 4 owners for a full 26 years, from 1986 to 2012, indicating the great love he had for him.

The car belongs to the Turbo 1 series and has aluminum doors, a roof as well as a tailgate, which was not already available in the Turbo 2 series because these parts were made of steel.

The general was made in 2014 during which the engine was upgraded to 210 horsepower, but still retained its original interior and wheels.
