The Renault 5 Turbo became iconic at the 1981 Monte Carlo Rally. It used a mid-mounted turbo 4-cylinder engine producing about 250hp, giving it the pace to contest events dominated by 4WD rivals like the Audi Quattro, especially on slippery stages.
This Tamiya 1/24 kit captures the Turbo's compact shape and rally details. It features a detailed cockpit, synthetic rubber slick tyres for period accuracy, and well-printed decals for authentic markings. The build calls for glue and careful painting to reach a display standard.
