I remember in the mid 90's seeing a red one for sale in a car showroom for £14,995.(UK). That's still the only one I've ever seen in real life.

It is my dream car, when I first saw in fifth gear show with reno clio v6 on that day it remains in my mind forever

One of my favorites in your collection so beautiful

One of my favourites from the old Rally day's, these absolutely terrorised the competition at the time, Being 51 years old, I used to love watching these cars screaming through the rally stages the Wales in the UK 🇬🇧 Great budding channel, keep up the fantastic videos Stay Safe, Mark 👍🏻

man i love this collection, i hope you get all the subs, you deserve them all, beautiful stuff!

Love the Renault 5 Turbo's! Yours looks an absolute gem!

I'm jealous, in a good way. Love to see it in the hands of somebody wich appreciate the little beast.

A guy down the road from me has the same 1983 Renault except his has a tan interior. In person the proportions of these cars are so damn cool and noise you get inside the car from motor behind your head is bonkers. Love these cars. I had no idea the wide body flares are fiberglass bonded to the metal body panels.

I just can't get over your collection - sublime

80's kid dream collection! Excellent cars and content, I look forward to every video...

Damn this collection is crazy.. i just found the channel and i am binge watching lol. Good for u dude. First person i see that can afford new cars but chooses iconic cars like these. I have a 2022 lincoln corsair reserve and i only drive my old trucks… they make me happier.

As a Brit I grew up drooling over this car as a kid, rich collectors are now snapping up this car across the pond.

My most favorite car ever .

Local Charlotte guy here, glad to see some of this collection at the Cars and Coffee this last weekend. Keep it up! Always loved these cars. Can't wait to see the review on the Jalpa, never seen one running!

Cant wait to see this channel blow up

New to your channel. Loved the video of you showing ALL of your vehicles. This Renault is a sweet ride. I was an 80s kid too, I also love boxed fenders and the squareness of 80s hot hatches. I owned about 5 1980s GTI’s and can’t wait for your reviews of the ones you own. 👍

Would I sound crazy if I told you that this is my favorite car out of your superb, unbelievable collection? Much props to you sir for having such great taste! I am 47 and we seem to have a lot in common when it comes to cars!

Thanks for showing this car. I haven’t seen one of these in person since the early ‘80s.

Well done, sir. R5/T2 is a personal favorite. Grew up down the way from the original. importer, Sun Imports.

Yas! There can't be many of these to the pound in the US? An '88 GT Turbo was one of my first cars, not as cool as this but 120 bhp and drove like a go-kart, I loved it - except for it not starting when hot and the brakes disintegrating after crossing the Forth Road bridge. My neighbour nearly wrote it off after reversing into the passenger side door - the door constituting about 95% of the side of the car! 😅 Love your collection and your uploads - keep 'em coming!!

One of my all time favorites!

Nice to see this car again, friendl of me drove a 1.4 turbocharged r5 Alpine, little rocket.faster than a Mercedes 300td those days.The wide body Gordini was sought after even those days

Nice toy! Love your videos. Keep up the amazing hobby,!

Hey MB.Thanks for sharing the story on this gem, love seing it in Black as this definitely is a rare color on a T2. I totaly agree on the boxed fenders, grilles and louvres , awesome automotive design, said that I miss a 924 Carrera GT in your collection. Cheers Jeroen

Coolest car ever

I learned to drive on a R5 regular model but what a cool car,Now this is a bomb, restoration is amazing

So much crazy is such a perfect little package! I only ever saw one in the flesh, at a UK motor show. I tried to convince my mother (who hated driving) that it would be a perfect little hatchback! She kindly listened and said that she would consider what I said. Then I tried to sell her on a M635csi! It would have cost more than our house! Only a mother would listen and pretend to take me seriously. Thank you Tons of Gas for sharing your collection and triggering some old memories.

What a beauty!!!

What a good collection you got 👍🏻U.K.

Great video bro! It sounds like a Honda VTEC when you get on it. I remember that car on gran turismo when I was a kid I never saw one in life until now it’s beautiful

I had a GT turbo in the 90's it was a Brit 🇬🇧 Hit ... loved it ... brings back sweet memories...

An absolute banger 👌

Just love that car ❤

Gorgeous car! One of my favorites.

Awesome car and collection! New favorite car channel

Need to find yourself a Shogun like Leno's. Would be a perfect addition to your collection. 👍👍🍺🍺

Another great piece of the collection! I wish these were available with the ragtop roof as well like the Renault 5/LeCar.

Très jolie collection 👍👍👍👍

Love your channel and car collection. I wish I had a garage like you! On my channel I have been making videos about my experience fixing a runaway marine diesel engine in Brooklyn NY. Love seeing unique content out there. Cheers!

One of my favorite Road & Track cover cars

beautiful car epic collection!!!!!

Two of my friends owned them in London one black and the other Navy Blue but always in the garage been repaired

Cool little car!

The collection is fantastic, all the best cars. You deserve a lot more subscribers. You must also make a video about the e34 m5 and e21

Incredible french car 😮

Please upload more ❤

Great sounding car. This low it must almost feel like a Go-Kart.

Wow you have an amazing taste in cars 🎉

Such a cool car.

It´s FIVE speed gearbox ,no 4 speed, Awesome car !

Enjoy very nice car

A kid I went to college with back in 2001 had a R5 turbo in black just like this one. It was so foreign to me compared to the Hondas I was playing with at the time. That fat rear end is so timeless though. I remember he bought it from up state NY sitting in a barn. Back in the day….

I bought a 1982 Gordini Turbo off an old lady back in the late 90’s.. it cost me the princely sum of £250, sadly I sold it, but I did make a profit on it.., they were just old cars back then.

instant like

Je suis FRENCH and very good car des années 80 difficelement trouvable en FRANCE bravo at you for this car

Stallone and Brigitte honey moon car It dosen't get more 80er, GREAT GREAT car!!

Can't wait to see that scirocco turbo... I have a Callaway 8v turbo stage 1 in my garage that I rebuilt and never got to use because I wrecked my 84 GTI

Amazing car, love all of the group B era cars. Would be fun to see the tach in a 1-3 gear pull to see that lag and thrust. My URS4 has that sweet 20vt AAN and those old school motors are a rocket when boost kicks in

I have always loved these red engine, rear drive hatchbacks. I would absolutely love one of these with full exhaust, modern turbo, intercooler, fuel system to support the upgrades, with a modern ecu. Didn't these come with a 5 speed? This and the Clio V6, Lancia Stratos, Delta Integrale, 037 Stradale kit car, and the Audi Quattro would certainly be in the 80s section of my dream garage for sure.

nice

If I’d suddenly be rich I’d immediately buy one. If one is for sale at least

Great car, I had the r5 turbo 1 it was so much nicer than the turbo 2 come with leather and alacantra seats leather dashboard special dials the whole interior was fantastic the turbo 2 has the standard interior, if you can get yourself the devil exhaust what a difference that makes, great video

From the PNW. Fuck yeah!!!

If you like the squared wheel arches, have you seen the Vauxhall Nova (Opel Corsa A in mainland Europe) top spec from factory was GTE which was facelifted to GSi. Personally i think the later GSi looks better!

That's a very rare car especially in the US. Renault (pronounce REH-NO) is a French company so i wonder what models Renault was bringing on to the US market back in the days?

tried to buy it several times...the problem always remains the same...either they are vehicles that come from the competition, and to have a real estimate of the vehicle you need a chronology of works that often do not provide you, or if you find the Holy Grail put in the garage and only used for a few rides on the street the prices reach beyond the unimaginable ... a mach number can touch Supercar figures 🙇

Beautiful car! The stubborn French always go their own way and come up with the weirdest shit that makes no sense at first but after a while you appreciate the out of the box engineering.

The European s are just the best at making the best cars in the world

Awesome car! Have you thought about adding a Peugeot 205 T16, Giocattalo, or the Lancia Hyena?

Minute 8.20, a boy tried to have a record of the Renault, at your side in a black van. 😂 in this moment, you acelerate the 5😂😂😂

I would like to drive all your cars .

I want to see the garage.

You need to add the Renault clio v6 to your collection

Wicked sexy car !!! If you ever need someone to help with all your cars I am your man currently unemployed as of today

Sounds awesome why the turbo livery

Nice car. Correction on the Aluminum Roof. They were on the T1's factory as well as the Maxi. I am a proud owner of a R5 T2 and a Ph1 Clio V6. Drive them because the K-Jetronic needs to constantly driven or sitting fuel will mess up the metering head. Is that Audi Sport Quattro a clone or the real deal?

does anyone know what performance mods that have been done apart from the exhaust!?

One of my friends owns a 5 Turbo, outstanding cars. What really made them famous other than their success in racing was the car chase in the movie never say never again. Although they won more than thirty European Rally Championships and the French Rally Championship in 1981 (Bruno Saby), 1982 (Jean-Luc Thérier) and 1984 (Jean Ragnotti). Very successful cars & god they're beautiful.

it looks homo alright ✅️

Was your red R5Turbo2 from Connecticut? Sounds like my old car.

Do you have an E46 M3 in that collection?

I thought turbo 1s had aluminium roofs?

No A/C with the engine on the back.. man Renault really want customer experience what rally driver feel

I m speaking in my name here, as a classic car former collector and for ever lover. Is not need to say how to pronounce Renault, because i presume that all who are watching your video, knows that. They are not id... ots.

The stock R5s were junk. Everything was wrong with them. Head gaskets, brakes, radiators, clutches, gearbox. Terrible interiors. They broke often and were notorious money pits. Nothing remained of the stock versions in their rally cars except the engine block which was worked on. People bought them for their looks and soon regretted it. French trash. Look what they've done to Nissan.
