Car articles about Renault R 5 Turbo 2 by year
In 1980, Renault presented the R5 Turbo mid-engine compact car, the development of which dated back to 1976. With over 5,000 units built, this basic model for racing in Group 4 and B is one of the most successful cars of its kind. And even today, over 30 years later, the mid-engined speedster is still a lot of fun behind the wheel. This vehicle report tells the story of the Renault 5 Turbo, explains the technology used and shows the car in current and historical pictures as well as in two sales brochures.
Renault gave the R11 a turbo in 1984 in order to be able to compete with the sporty compact cars. This made it a veritable rival to the Golf GTI & Co, which it outperformed in many disciplines. There may have been various reasons why the competition still seemed to be more successful. This article looks back and shows the R11 Turbo in current and historical pictures.
Independent coupés such as the VW Scirocco or the Opel Manta were popular at the end of the seventies. Nevertheless, Renault took its time to replace the R15/R17 models, which had become outdated in the meantime. The result then attracted a lot of attention and with the subsequent turbo version, the French had a really hot iron in the fire. This driving report describes the history of the unusual coupé and shows it in historical and current pictures.
40 years ago, Renault celebrated the first victory of a turbo Formula 1 racing car with the RS10. Subsequently, the turbo engine was also widely used in production cars and mostly powered the top versions of the various model series. One of these was the Renault 5 GT Turbo, the 200 km/h version of the second R5 edition. The competition had to measure itself against it. This driving report describes the history of the Renault 5 GT Turbo and shows it in current and historical images.
It is certainly no exaggeration to describe the Renault Espace as a milestone. Of course, there were already buses and vans before the Frenchman, but it was only with the Espace that the single-volume vehicle really established itself in the comfort and family segment. No wonder the Espace was eagerly imitated, but its design remains unique to this day. This vehicle report tells the unusual story of the Renault Espace and shows the elegant all-purpose car in two versions in many current and historical pictures.
