Equipped with a powerful 1.4-liter turbocharged engine producing 160 horsepower and a mid-engine design for perfect weight distribution, the Renault 5 Turbo set new standards in driving dynamics.

Its striking design, featuring widened fenders and large air intakes, was not only eye-catching but also served aerodynamic and cooling purposes. The pinnacle of its career came with a legendary victory at the 1981 Monte Carlo Rally, where its superior agility and performance secured the win.
