Discover the real-life inspiration for the brick set – the Renault 5 Turbo
A small car with big ambitions
The Renault 5 Turbo is one of the most extraordinary variants of the popular Renault 5. The car was developed for both rally competition and road use, yet its design differed significantly from the standard city-focused Renault 5.
The most significant change was the mid-engine layout, placing the engine behind the driver and passenger seats. The Renault 5 Turbo was equipped with a turbocharged 1,397 cc Cléon engine, which produced approximately 160 hp (118 kW) in the road-going version.
Combined with the car's compact size, wide body and rear-wheel drive, this created a unique vehicle that quickly became a symbol of Renault's sporting prowess in the early 1980s.

Built for rallying
The initial version of the Renault 5 Turbo was prepared to meet the requirements of the rally Group 4 category. Competitive racing was a primary reason for the creation of this remarkable Renault 5 variant.
A total of only 3,167 Renault 5 Turbo units were produced, further highlighting its status as a collector's item.
In 2004, the American automotive magazine Sports Car International ranked the Renault 5 Turbo 9th on its list of the best sports cars of the era.
