The absolute dreamcar of my youth. If I had the money, I would buy one and electrify it.

Great car!

I'd like to see a comparison with the DeLorean. Both have the same powerplant, mounted behind the rear wheels, on a central beam chassis and composite body.

The left and right ear dont work as you wont it to

10 out of 10

I had it in as alpine turbo 85 it makes me feel great teasing the mersaides 180 and the BMWs in the high ways oh what a joy

owned two when I was about 18-20 and still here to tell the tales! incredible exciting car to drive and around the b roads in lancashire it was phenomenal

This is my dream car :) As a kid in the 90's I used to watch a japanese anime called "Neon genesis evangelion" where the main protagonist drove this exact car!

Saw an a310 in an autocar magazine from ages ago, struck me immediately just how gorgeous it was!

Lovely example.... Shame its been lowered though.

Hi. what are the aluminum rims fitted to the Twingo?

J’adore !

Definitly a TwinGo!

What an opportunity missed, to give some facts, figures, comparisons and a proper review. Lots of oohs and aaahs, no substance whatsoever.

Its a 2.5V6 in there isn't it, not a 1.6?

Misato car

And I can prove that it was me who imported this car

And I waxoyled myself the steel chassis at a garage in Dorking, Surrey in June 1982

Thank you for reacquainting me with my car. I would love to see NAN 969X in the flesh again. Of course I took it from Paris to the UK on French export plates and registered the car later to UK plates. I wonder if it still has the little dent in the rear bumper when I accidentally backed into something later in 1981 🤔

Oh yes, James Rawlings and myself were primarily responsible for the 1979 Renault 5 Gordini coming to the UK market as he built me a 5 Alpine in 1977/8 from a 1976 5 TS reg no SGN 944R. It was Road tested by Roger Bell of Motor magazine and the late John Bolster of Autosport magazine. But how and why Renault UK made this decision … well that’s a separate story 😀

I imported this actual car in September 1981. I picked it up from Renault Exportation in Paris and drove it back to the UK via Dover. James Rawlings of Renaultsport, Egham in Surrey arranged it for me. On the ferry back a certain F1 champion the late James Hunt was on the ferry with a RHD Mercedes-Benz that he was importing. We had quite a chat in the bar. Both of us drove up to ‘Something to Declare’ at the UK Customs. 😂 Both of us had prearranged cheques to pay import duty etc. I kept the car to the Autumn of 1982 when I had Chequered Flag sell it on a Sale or Return basis. It sold if I remember right for around £9K… I paid around £10.5K including duty. Pros: Awesome looks. Against: Very susceptible to cross winds especially on exposed Motorways. In fact on one trip up the M1 to Birmingham, it swopped lanes when a gusty wind hit it. Scary to say the very least. I was warned by James Rawlings to be very careful in the wet and even dry roads as on the limit these cars had a habit of spinning and swoping ends due to the heavy engine in the rear. In fact I nearly lost it on the A3 on a bend when being chased by a BMW 350CSL !! When I slowed down the driver of the BMW was laughing his head off. In the summer of 1982, I drove it to the South of France and back. On the way down nearing Lyon I picked up a French registered one in Alpine Blue and a white German registered one. It was quite a sight seeing red, white and blue Alpines in the fast lane. Unbelievably there was a 1980 LHD version of the same model that was obviously imported at the London Classic Car Show, Olympia in February. At first I thought it was my car but then realised it wasn’t. Hope the present owner contacts me as I know the full history since new. Oh yes in the snowy winter of 1981/2, it took me nearly 3 hours to get from Effingham to Maidenhead due to the slippery conditions 😱 . I should have taken my 1980 FWD Renault 5 Gordini. The glass fibre body was far stronger than the Lotus one due to the far superior construction. Far safer in a crash too. Finally I really hope the owner or the person who made this video contact me or both of them. I would love to be reacquainted with NAN 969X. Sorry one thing, I understand that a certain Hector Wintle-Smith bought the car from Chequered Flag ( I hope I got his name correct). I believe he was the chairman of the Alpine Renault Club at one point.

a shame that there are no more Renault sport models

You can race this car in the game Assetto Corsa. I love the sound and big pipes.

6R4 for the road.

One of the most beautiful cars of all time

Por favor mis princesa muchos besos mándenme un Renault frances vengan a visitarnos.su admirador su cubanoamericano su amigo enamorado de ustedes.muchas bendiciones.su.Isel mena santos.

drama on an airstrip with few turns

I love my Clio V6. Thanks for posting such a great video. Your example didn’t look standard though- 18” alloys instead of the 17s, recaro pole position seats, and that lovely tailgate spoiler 😍

I owned a Renault 5 GT Turbo Raider for 8 years of bliss , fun , thrills , heart'stopping moments 🚀❤️😎

Used to own one, still rebuild the engines and carburettors for them though... ;)

Oh dear. ‘For sure’ lol

so, my thoughts.

Badly staged this review 🤣

It is actually in Evangelion and the interior looks like it's from 80's mecha anime.

There was a holy war between A310 V6 and Porsche 911 !

Ahh had a Phase 1 many years back . Was a lot of fun with the boost turned up.

People carrier with full camera rig over takes and leaves it standing. probably not it’s finest moment.

Had an indicated 120 out of mine on the M6 back in the early 90s. Felt as though it was about to fall apart. Factory standard. Rubbish build quality … I sooo miss it

Absolut rubbish. Nearly 10 minutes of useless uninformative twaddle. Not only one scene of understeer, and this with a rear engine car!! Two unsymphatetic blondes yaping all the way, and looks like Calimero from the cartoon with their racing helmets for egging around on a airplane field. For what? Absolut ridiculous crap!

Amazing car

I love the R5 GT Turbo, last year I scratched a 30 year itch and bought one, I love it, so much fun 😀😀😀

3 beauties... nice riview

You lot should do Top Gear

Yes I have. Owned 7 of them. Together with the clio williams and the r21 turbo,these 3 cars gave me ( and still do) propper driving pleasure like no others.

Hi everyone! Renault Connected here. Have you ever driven this blast from the past? Let us know in the comments below.

In a straight line there are Faster cars than this. But oooh boy on twisty roads the car comes to life and shines there. I Got one since 2 Years now and wow best car i will ever own probably. Its family friendly and sporty it does everything pretty well. Yes its a bit harsh compared to a Golf GTI but it looks better and is not so dull to drive. The standard Tires are crap put on ps4s and it transforms the car. The 4 Wheel steering takes some time to get used to but it feels so good if you throw it into a corner and feel the back of the car turn in. You can even let it slade a bit.

Hi everyone! It's Renault Connected here. Did you learn something new about the R5 GT Turbo? Let us know below!
