Compact cars with mid-engines are a rare automotive species. Apart from the unique Sbarro Super 8 and the Group B machine MG Metro 6R4, we can only think of Renault as a manufacturer of such models. The French were doubly industrious and followed up the Renault 5 Turbo of the 1980s with the Clio V6 some time later. Both model series were available with and without facelift, but only in limited numbers. In the case of the 5 Turbo, the complex and therefore expensive production process was the main reason for the modifications. Steel parts replaced the aluminium doors, roof and tailgate. In addition, the high-volume dashboard of the Renault 5 Alpine was used in the interior instead of the independent component designed by Bertone designer Marcello Gandini. This resulted in the less expensive Renault 5 Turbo 2, of which 3,180 units were built until 1986. Before that, only 1,690 Turbo of the first version rolled off the production line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turbo 3 comes without compromise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Renault 5 Turbo gained a legendary reputation through numerous rally successes and later also entries on asphalt circuits as part of the a one-make cup. Not only a few fans wondered since the end of production what a worthy successor might look like. The Clio V6 could only partially fulfill the demands. Now the company Legende Automobile (L.A.) in California is working on a new answer to this question. Under the project name “Turbo 3” the company isn’t creating a completely new car, but a restomod based on a normal three-door Renault 5, thus using the same basis that was once used for the Turbo and Turbo 2. The developers had two further questions in their specifications: “What if there were no compromises? What if we took the best bits of both cars and used technology only to improve the electrics and weight of the car?”<\/p>\n\n\n
