This volume is a deeply updated and expanded edition of a landmark 1996 publication (originally authored by Peter Hendrickx and Peter Meaney). The author, James Jones, chose to rewrite it by integrating personal memories and a vast archive collected since the 1980s.

Main Content:

  • Design and Development: A detailed analysis of the birth of the Renault 5 Turbo (and the subsequent Turbo 2 variant). The book traces the technical genesis that transformed a city car into a mid-engined "beast."
  • Racing Success: A key section is dedicated to the car's competitive career, particularly in the World Rally Championship's Group B era.
  • Unseen Archive Material: The more than 300 color and black-and-white images are not just stock photos; they include a wealth of historical personal archive material collected by the author over forty years of passion.
  • Vehicle Analysis: An in-depth technical and aesthetic look at the final product. The book aims to explain why, as the author’s synopsis states, "there is no other car that looks or sounds like a Renault 5 Turbo."
