About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Very good older repaint. Numerous long cracks and chips in the painted gray trim on the roof. Newer seat upholstery. Good, lightly aged original dash and gauges. Showing 67,210 km. Very neat, rare and eye-catching bit of rally history.

Market commentary

The Turbo 2 used fewer alloy components and more standard Renault parts than the earlier cars. Renault also saw the mid-engine performance hatchback concept as a sales opportunity and built several thousand 5 Turbos rather than just the number required for homologation. They are therefore less valuable than their later Group B peers, but this car nevertheless attracted a lot of attention and brought a huge price that was 40 grand over the high estimate and would ordinarily buy you a more exotic Turbo 1.
