Previously there was a post with photos of the mega turbo silhouette of City Turbo. However, at the same time, Renault wanted to enter the US market. And therefore, in 1981, they released the craziest turbo silhouette Le Turbo 5 into IMSA racing.
A very small engine was boosted from the factory ~100 hp to 260 hp with the help of a huge turbo boom! Weight was about 750 kg. Despite the good results of Renault Le Car (third place in the class at the debut and then in third race of the season), the car carried away one pilot. unbridled power.
