1:24 Heller 80717 Renault R5 Turbo – French Rally Car Plastic Model kit

The 1:24 Heller 80717 Renault R5 Turbo is a plastic model kit of a French rally car with a bold and aggressive character. When the mock-up of the R5 Turbo was unveiled at the 1978 Salon, comments such as “aggressive”, “monstrous” and “to impress the girls” immediately captured the special presence of this car. Two years later, skilled drivers appreciated the 204 km/h speed of this mass-produced “bomb”.

The Renault 5 was already a cult car in France, but the Turbo version gave the compact model a completely new appearance. The impressive air intakes on the rear wings and its polyurethane trim made the R5 Turbo instantly recognisable. This audacious redesign of the R5 without doubt regilded the Régie coat-of-arms and turned the car into an icon for fans of French sports cars and rally history.

The Renault 5 was presented in 1972 and remained in production until 1996. With more than 5.5 million examples produced, a spacious interior, low aerodynamic drag and good traction, the R5 became an important model in French automotive history.
