The Renault 5 Turbo is hot-hatch fire: imagine if today's hot-hatches out-accelerated as well as out-handled today's mid-engine Ferraris. The R5 Turbo beat up on the modern Ferrari 308– along with every other supercar– by relocating its turbocharged engine to the back, where rear seats utilized to be.
Compare that to lover vehicles like today's Volkswagen Golf R, which is just a GTI+. VW, as well, developed a mid-engine, rear-drive GTI, the W12-650. However the Germans built one as an advertising and marketing exercise. The French put their Le Supercar right into production and offered hundreds of them to the lucky public.
The photo cars and truck is a Renault R5 Turbo 2 Advancement, owned by Bring-a-Trailer cofounder Randy Nonnenberg. The Evo included back in the light weight aluminum bits shed in the switch from Turbo to Turbo 2, and also had a bespoke engine with a fractionally larger displacement. For homologation purposes, naturally– due to the fact that this was a WRC rally car.
And also what an auto it was.
