The Renault 5 Turbo 2 was a cost-conscious follow-up to the original Turbo 1 homologation special. To save money, Renault replaced the Turbo 1's custom aluminum roof, doors, and hatch with steel parts from the standard R5. It also swapped the bespoke Bertone interior for the dashboard and seats from the R5 Alpine, making it slightly heavier but mechanically identical to its predecessor with its mid-mounted, 1.4-liter turbocharged engine producing 158 hp.
As an icon of the Group B rally era, the Turbo 2 is a dream car for many 80s enthusiasts. Its cartoonishly wide fenders and mid-engine layout create a visual and driving experience unlike any other hot hatch. It's a challenging car to drive fast, but its analog nature and explosive power delivery are a huge part of its appeal. With only 3,167 built, its rarity helps secure its place as a top-tier collectible.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust thoroughly, especially in the sills, floorpans, and under the wide fender flares which can trap moisture.
- The 1.4L engine is tough, but inspect for signs of overheating and oil leaks around the turbocharger. A complete service history is a major plus.
- Many parts are unique to the Turbo models and are incredibly hard to find. Ensure all specific trim, glass, and body panels are present and in good condition.
- Originality is key for value. Many cars were modified, so be wary of extensive changes that would be expensive to reverse to factory specification.
- For US buyers, verify the car's importation and federalization paperwork. Poorly done conversions can lead to registration issues and electrical gremlins.
