Renault 5, 8 e 8 Gordini: libri - storia e modelli

Renault 5

NUOVO

Introduced in 1972, the Renault 5 followed the success of the Renault 4 but offered a less utilitarian and more stylish approach. With wrap-around plastic bumpers and a plastic-rich interior, it was designed as a modern city car and proved especially popular with women. Now widely seen as a design classic, the Renault 5 was France's best-selling car for many years and achieved strong worldwide sales.

In this illustrated book, Renault specialist Mark Bradbury examines the design and development of the Renault 5 and its position among rival superminis of the period, including the Fiat 127, Volkswagen Polo, and Ford Fiesta. He reviews the main model updates, the Super 5, and the high-performance versions such as the Alpine, Gordini, and GT Turbo.
The book also looks at the Renault 5's success in motor sport. Published before the launch of the new all-electric Renault 5, this volume offers a clear view of a motoring icon and its lasting influence.

Renault 5 Turbo

Thunderbolt at the 1978 Paris Motor Show: Renault unveils the incredible R5 Turbo. A daring bet for the manufacturer, because the newcomer was primarily intended for competition, taking over from the brilliant R5 Alpine.

After a long development period, the model did not begin its career until the spring of 1980. Designed as a real racing beast, the flagship of the R5 range only retained a vague family resemblance to its modest sisters.
It did not have front-wheel drive and was equipped with a central rear engine, in order to better outwit its formidable adversaries in the emerging Group B, the Lancia 037 and other Audi Quattros.

From then on, the legendary heir to the R8 Gordini and Alpine berlinettas would also write its name into legend, in the hands of no less legendary drivers, such as Jean Ragnotti, Jean-Luc Thérier, Bruno Saby and François Chatriot, who would lead it to victory time and time again.
