Vehicle Description

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Essen event, 11 - 12 April 2019. Estimate: €80.000 - €90.000 Offered from the Youngtimer Collection A brilliant example of one of the most desirable rally cars of the 1980s No one would look at a Renault 5 and imagine it could be modified, even heavily, to produce one of the coolest cars of the 1980s. However, that is exactly what happened when Renault's Vice President of Production, Jean Terramorsi, was inspired by the incredible success of Lancia's Stratos. First unveiled at the Brussels Motor Show in 1980, the Renault 5 Turbo was built on a modified Renault 5 chassis. The Turbo's most radical change was the placement of the engine behind the driver and the switch to rear-wheel drive. Seeking to lower production costs but not suffer from a loss of performance, in 1983 Renault pared down the Turbo into what would become the Turbo II. These road-legal cars proved incredibly popular. Copies of previous registrations on file show that this example was first registered in Wolfsburg, Germany, in 1986 before moving to the Netherlands, and finally Belgium, and was purchased by the current owner and exported to Switzerland in 2016. It is a perfect introduction to rallying's 1980 heyday. • Aus der Youngtimer Collection • Ein fantastisches Exemplar eines der gesuchtesten Rallyeautos der 80er Jahre In den 80er Jahren h�tte niemand geglaubt, aus einem Renault R5 lie�e sich eines der coolesten Autos des Jahrzehnts machen lassen, selbst mit sehr aufw�ndigen Umbauten. Aber genau das ist es, was passierte, als Renault Produktionsvizepr�sident Jean Terramorsi sich vom unglaublichen Erfolg des Lancia Stratos inspirieren lie�. Der auf dem Autosalon in Br�ssel 1980 vorgestellte Renault 5 Turbo stand auf einem umfangreich umgebauten Chassis des Renault 5 mit einem ins Heck verlegten Motor und mit Heckantrieb. Mit dem Versuch, die Produktionskosten zu senken, wurde 1983 aus dem Turbo der Turbo II, stra�enzugelassene Fahrzeuge, die sich als sehr beliebt herausstellten. Kopien fr�herer Zulassungen belegen, dass dieses Fahrzeug 1986 in Wolfsburg zum ersten Mal zugelassen wurde. Anschlie�end ging es in die Niederlande und danach nach Belgien, wo es vom heutigen Besitzer 2016 gekauft und in die Schweiz exportiert wurde. Ein perfekter Einstieg in die Rallyewelt der 80er.
