About this mod
The Renault 5 Turbo was a high-performance hot hatch launched by the French manufacturer Renault in 1980. In contrast to the front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout of the standard Renault 5, the Turbo version adopted a radical mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration inspired by rallying. This necessitated significant structural modifications to the standard Renault 5 chassis. The engine, a 1397 cc (1.4 L) Cléon-Fonte inline-four, was equipped with a Garrett T3 turbocharger, developing a maximum power output of 160 PS (118 kW; 158 hp) at 6000 rpm and a peak torque of 221 N⋅m (163 lb⋅ft) at 3250 rpm. This powertrain allowed the lightweight vehicle, weighing approximately 970 kg (2,138 lb), to achieve a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration time of around 7.6 seconds, a notable figure for its era. The 5 Turbo's distinctive wide bodywork, featuring dramatic aluminum fender flares, a wider track, and prominent side air intakes crucial for engine cooling and intake, was a key visual differentiator. The interior, styled by Bertone, featured a unique and sporty design with high-bolstered seats. The development of the Renault 5 Turbo was intrinsically linked to Renault's entry into Group 4 rallying. Homologation regulations required the production of a specific number of road-going versions, leading to the creation of this performance-oriented variant. The 5 Turbo subsequently achieved considerable success in motorsport, including victories in the World Rally Championship. 1 Enthusias
