13B Rotary-Powered 1985 Renault R5 Turbo 2

This distinctive 1985 Renault R5 Turbo 2 is one of just 200 special homologation models produced, originally imported to California when new and federally approved by Sun International. However, it's the engine swap that sets this classic French hot rod apart: around a decade ago, its original powerplant was replaced with a turbocharged 1.3-liter Mazda 13B rotary engine, now paired with Renault's five-speed manual transaxle through a modified setup. Currently residing in Thousand Oaks, California, this unique vehicle combines the compact R5 Turbo's distinctive rally-inspired design with the distinctive purr of a rotary engine under its hood, ready to captivate enthusiasts seeking something special from their garage.
