Renault 5 Turbo 3: 400 horsepower for the French sports car

Légende Automobile signs an astonishing restomod based on the Renault 5, 400 horsepower and offering a modernized interior.

In recent years, a trend has become more and more important. It’s about restomod, a practice aimed at modernizing an old car, whether by changing the engine, adding more technological elements or simply changing certain parts to install newer ones. Specialized companies are now multiplying across the world, such as David Brown Automotive, specializing in restomods based on old Mini. But the trend is now so strong that even brands are getting started, like Opel which recently unveiled its new Manta GSe ElekroMOD. A creation based on a completely classic Manta and brought up to date, with a 100% electric motor. Today, we are going to talk to you about another icon, which has also succumbed to the restomod, offering itself a new look, but not only.

And for good reason, this is the Renault 5 Turbo, transformed by a young Franco-American company called Légende Automobiles. To create this astonishing project, which has already been around the world, the designers and engineers relied on a completely standard version of the legendary R5. This one seems to be already in tune with the times, whereas it had already been brought up to date by Renault through a new concept unveiled a few months earlier. The car was then redesigned and extensively modified, in order to afford a carbon fiber body, as well as a body kit reminiscent of the Turbo version. This differs somewhat from the original version, however, without altering everything. On board, the presentation is stripped down, but we notice the presence of a digital handset as well as bucket seats. The gray upholstery contrasts with the touches of orange scattered throughout the cabin.

For purists

For now, the detailed information on the technical sheet of this Renault 5 Turbo 3 have not yet been detailed by Légende Automobiles. However, we know that this unusual creation is based on a chassis developed by Bloodmotorsport and offers a double wishbone suspension at the front and rear, as on the Renault 5 Maxi Turbo. Purists will be delighted to learn that the sports car retains a 100% thermal engine, embodied by a four-cylinder petrol engine developing no less than 400 horsepower. This is then connected to a manual gearbox, to the delight of purists. Moreover, the company behind this creation emphasizes that “ we wanted to create a machine for people who are as passionate about driving as we are. A machine that would make an adult or a small child sneer at the mere thought of getting behind the wheel “. For now, no price has yet been announced, but it should probably not be given, exceeding six figures according to the first rumors.
