Renault 5 GT Turbo listings1 for sale now
The Renault 5 GT Turbo arrived in 1985 as a raw, turbocharged successor to the 5 Alpine. It used a 1.4-liter pushrod engine with a Garrett T2 turbo, initially producing 115 PS. The 1987 Phase 2 update brought a water-cooled turbo and electronic ignition, bumping power to 120 PS and slightly taming its notoriously laggy power delivery. It was a formidable and often intimidating competitor to naturally aspirated rivals like the Peugeot 205 GTI.
The car's collectibility stems from its aggressive character. With a curb weight of just 850 kg, the 5 GT Turbo offered an intense, unfiltered driving experience that has become legendary. Its reputation for turbo lag followed by a sudden, violent surge of power makes it an exciting challenge to drive well. Many of these cars were modified, crashed, or rusted away, so finding clean, original examples today is difficult.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest enemy. Carefully inspect the sills, rear arches, boot floor, and the area around the windscreen for corrosion.
- Check the engine for signs of oil leaks, particularly around the turbo and rocker cover. Blue smoke from the exhaust can indicate worn turbo seals or piston rings.
- Many cars have been heavily modified. Originality is prized, so be wary of poor quality aftermarket parts that are difficult to reverse.
- The cooling system can be a weak point. Check for perished hoses and signs of overheating, which can lead to head gasket failure.
