RENAULT 18 TURBO 1981 ROUGE

During its attempt to take on the market in the United States, Renault marketed the R5 under the name «Renault Le Car». The USA proved to be a winning bet for Renault, and so Heuliez produced a specific version inspired by American vans in 1979 . The Car Van lost its windows and its rear window in favour of polyester panels pierced with portholes. The look was complemented by bumpers taken from the Renault 5 Alpine and a spare wheel on the tailgate, as well as a specific  rainbow decoration and specific rims. The interior was also completely modified. Production was planned for 200 units, and was finally integrated into the range of the manufacturer. The customer was to supply a Renault 5 and pay the conversion cost of 12,500 francs, or 40% of the price of the car

Like its sister-in-law, the Clio 2, the third generation of the Renault city car was entitled to its RS sports version in reference to Renault Sport. This Clio 3 RS has been a real hit with fans of the brand. Its widened sides, its aluminum rims and its 203hp engine give it a very attractive racing aspect. The Mark 2, produced from 2009 to 2012, will be introduced to the OttOmobile collection in its “Sport Cup” version with a yellow Sirius livery much requested by the fans!
