Renault 5 5 (very low mileage) 1982
General description :
1982 Renault 5 Turbo
This 80’s cult car is certainly one of the most spectacular models ever produced by Renault. When the Renault 5 Turbo was presented for the first time at the Paris Motor Show in 1980, the public and the press were extremely enthusiastic.
The production was fairly complex because several parties were involved. This is how Renault built the body, which was then adapted by Heuliez. These modifications concerned the extension and widening of the body and the installation of an aluminum roof and doors. Then the cars were delivered to Alpine which was responsible for the further reduction. There a 1.397cc four-cylinder mid-engine was placed with a thick Garrett T3 turbo so the power was as much as 160hp. This resulted in a top speed of more than 200 km / h and an acceleration from 0 to 100 in 6.9 seconds.
The Renault 5 Turbo had 33 top 10 positions in the WRC championship in the period 1981 – 1986, with a first place in Monte Carlo and the Tour de Course. The Renault 5 Turbo also won a total of 16 victories, in others championships in Europe.
This car was delivered new in Belgium, and stood at the car show in Brussels in 1982, the then owner was Renault De Wit dealer in Kortrijk. In 1993 Renault dealer Bart Landeloos bought the Turbo with about 20.000 km on the clock, both companies had not registered this car and drove only on dealer plates. In 2002, this Renault 5 was purchased by the third owner and provided with a Dutch license plate, this fan has owned and cherished this Turbo for the past 16 years. This Renault 5 Turbo 1 has only driven 38.683 km from new, making this car absolutely unique.In short, a pure Renault 5 Turbo from the first series looking for the next enthusiast / collector, a detailed description of the history and a mileage overview is present in our sales file.

About Renault
Ah, Renault, a name that's as French as a croissant and as ingrained in automotive history as a baguette in a Parisian café. Let's take a leisurely drive through the annals of this storied manufacturer, shall we?Our story begins in the late 19th century when the Renault brothers, Louis, Marcel, and Fernand, decided to put their inventive minds to work. In 1898, they introduced their very first car, the Renault Voiturette. It was a petite, rear-engined contraption that looked like something Jules Verne might have designed. This pint-sized pioneer laid the foundation for Renault's automotive legacy.
Now, if we're talking about influential Renault models, we mustn't overlook the Renault 4. Launched in 1961, it was the French answer to the Volkswagen Beetle. The Renault 4 was practical, versatile, and designed to handle the rough and tumble of rural France. It was as much at home in the city as it was on a farm, a true embodiment of French pragmatism.
But let's not forget the Renault 5, or "Le Supercinq" as it was known in France. Introduced in the mid-'70s, this little hatchback was a design sensation. Its quirky, angular lines and cheeky personality made it an instant hit. It was economical, fun to drive, and became an icon of French urban life.
Then came the Renault Espace in 1984. It was one of the pioneers of the MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) segment. The Espace was designed for families who wanted the practicality of a van without sacrificing the comfort of a car. It was the beginning of a new era in family transport.
And let's not forget the Renault Twingo, introduced in 1992. It was a small city car that broke the mold with its innovative design and rear-engine layout. The Twingo was proof that small cars could be stylish and practical, and it was a hit with urban dwellers across Europe.
Now, if you want to talk about a true game-changer, it's the Renault Clio. First introduced in 1990, the Clio became a European favorite. It combined style, performance, and affordability in a way that few cars could match. It's the kind of car that's as comfortable on the Champs-Élysées as it is navigating the narrow streets of a French village.
But, of course, we can't forget the Renault Megane. It's been a stalwart of the compact car segment since its debut in 1995. With its distinctive rear-end design and a range of engines to suit every taste, the Megane has remained a strong contender in a competitive market.
So there you have it, a leisurely tour through the history of Renault, a company that has always managed to infuse a touch of French flair into the automotive world. Renault has given us cars that are as diverse as the French countryside itself, from practical workhorses to stylish city slickers. It's a brand that's as much a part of France's cultural tapestry as a bottle of Bordeaux or a game of pétanque. Vive la Renault!
