Renault 5 GT Turbo (1985 to 1991)

The Renault 5 GT Turbo, was introduced in February 1985 (not to be confused with the Renault 5 Turbo). It used a modified four cylinder, eight-valve Cléon 1397 cc engine, turbocharged with an air-cooled Garrett T2 turbocharger. Weighing a mere 850 kg (1,874 lb), and producing 115 PS (85 kW; 113 hp), the GT Turbo had an excellent power-to-weight ratio, permitting it to accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 7.5 seconds. To differentiate it from the standard 5, it came with blocky plastic side skirts.
