„Agressive“, „monstrous“, „to impress the girls“ – these were some of the comments made at the Geneva car salon in 1978 when the mock-up of the R5 turbo was unveiled. Two years later, skillful drivers were appreciating the 204 km/h speed of this mass-produced „bomb“. The impressive air intakes on the rear wings and its polyurethane trim made it instantly recognizable. This audacious redesign of the R5 without doubt regilded the Régie (state-controlled company) coat-of-arms. Length of the build model: 161mm Width of the build model: 70mm
