looking on my computer i found some pics on my r5 turbo

 

is that a real car? looks like a fiesta and a escort smooshed together.

confused I am.

 

always wanted a raider, never driven a r5 turbo still, i must do that, they are rocky horse shit now though aint they, cool cars

 

but what is it? they really made them?

anyone got a larger picture.

 

search for renault 5 gt turbo.

presume you are in a different country to have not seen 1 before?
to be fair they were pretty legendary in their day and can be made damn quick.120bhp and weigh about 700kg ? 0-60 in 7 secs standard. poor build quality though but awesome fun to drive,especially with 200 + bhp! closest thing to go kart driving on the road

 

I take it you not from the UK or Europe? They were sold European wide as far as I know and were Renos "hot hatch" version of the Renault 5. The Renault 5 GT turbo was a 1.4 push rod engine running a T2 turbo on a carburettor. They were around 120bhp and 0-60 in 7.2 standard. They came in phase 1 and phase 2 models, the version above is a phase 2. This is all from memory so don't quote me exact figures.

Here are a few pics of mine, ran 20psi boost and was on the bump stops. HKS EVO6 exhaust:

 

Ive had 2, inc a proven 200+bhp one, wicked lil cars, would like one now as a mess around car, have one over an RST any day

 

DITTO as they dont seem to rust!

 

I've had 2, first one was mint bout 185bhp nice little motor the second only lasted 1 day before it blew up it was running between 32-35 psi mental machine before it gave up fasted small car i've driven yet
Would'nt have another one though not reliable enough for my 10 stone right foot.

 

my best friend have a real renault 5 turbo type 2, amazing car

the car us standard and with 38,000 Km!!! from 1983



my dream car

 

i had a pearl white one about 150 bhp used to fookin shift,wouldnt mind another one tbh

 

dont they LOL


what was yours made of wood

 

Where I am they crush cars nice and quick. so a car like that would of made it to some cheap guy and when he/she was done with it it would of been crushed. (no offense intended).

it actually dosnt look to bad in the bigger pics.

never seen one though. one of my freinds had a opel turbo that was similar. I think it was opel..

later.
