- Hello everyone!! Welcome back to our channel here at Tons of Gas! Thank you for everyone that comes back and checks out our videos along with all of the new viewers! We hope that you are liking the new content we are posting and we have a lot more ideas on the table!
This week we will be showing you a Renault 5 Turbo 2 that I acquired a couple of years go. Go ahead and watch the video for more of the story on this Turbo 2!
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.
Wooooowwwww- 15k lol
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
Love it
One of my favorites in your collection so beautiful
Thank u Nemo
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 👍🏻
Thanks Mark

man i love this collection, i hope you get all the subs, you deserve them all, beautiful stuff!
Thank u sir
Love the Renault 5 Turbo's!
Yours looks an absolute gem!
Thank u sir- it’s a special car
I'm jealous, in a good way. Love to see it in the hands of somebody wich appreciate the little beast.
One of my favs
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.
Yes exactly- Better not crack one
@@Tonsofgas yeah the reason i noticed is there were tons of stress cracks in the paint then i took a closer look to see there were fiberglass bonded on. Does your R5 have any stress cracks in the old original paint or do you think yours was restored at some point?
As a Brit I grew up drooling over this car as a kid, rich collectors are now snapping up this car across the pond.
It was one of my favs growing up
80's kid dream collection! Excellent cars and content, I look forward to every video...
We will be producing more soon - thanks for viewing
My most favorite car ever .
Same
I just can't get over your collection - sublime
Ha- thanks Dennis - more coming soon
More garage excellence - love the patterned seats and the Jaeger orange dials and 800kg lightness - a mad little machine which oozes French class - keep em coming.
Yeah it’s pretty bad azz
What a beauty!!!
Thanks
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!
Thank u sir
Cant wait to see this channel blow up
We are pushing hard
Coolest car ever
One of my favs for sure
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.
I agreed, I love my 80’/90’s cars. They special to me and that’s what I like
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.
Awesome thanks Gordy
Great story too
One of my all time favorites!
Agreed
I had a GT turbo in the 90's it was a Brit 🇬🇧 Hit ... loved it ... brings back sweet memories...
This has devil exhaust as well
Thanks for showing this car. I haven’t seen one of these in person since the early ‘80s.
Yes sir
Well done, sir. R5/T2 is a personal favorite. Grew up down the way from the original. importer, Sun Imports.
One of my top 5 cars
Just love that car ❤
Thanks
Gorgeous car! One of my favorites.
Thanks
Nice toy! Love your videos. Keep up the amazing hobby,!
Thanks robertv
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!
I’m 47 as well- the R5 ranks super high on my scale as well- thanks
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. 👍
Yes sir- those are the best times
An absolute banger 👌
I love it
I learned to drive on a R5 regular model but what a cool car,Now this is a bomb, restoration is amazing
Oh yes, the r5 - that’s awesome man
Awesome car and collection! New favorite car channel
Leeggggooo
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
Very rare
Incredible french car 😮
Thanks
What a good collection you got 👍🏻U.K.
Thanks man
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!!
Thanks mike- more coming soon
beautiful car epic collection!!!!!
Thanks man
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
Hey man, thanks for viewing buddy
Need to find yourself a Shogun like Leno's. Would be a perfect addition to your collection. 👍👍🍺🍺
I know right- I want one
One of my favorite Road & Track cover cars
Me too
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
Ha- that’s awesome
Wow you have an amazing taste in cars 🎉
Thanks BODFIX
Cool little car!
Thanks
Such a cool car.
Thank u sir
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!
Thank u - keep up the work
Another great piece of the collection! I wish these were available with the ragtop roof as well like the Renault 5/LeCar.
Yeah I remember seeing those on the LeCar as wlel
Please upload more ❤
Coming soon
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
Coming soon
Enjoy very nice car
Thanks
Two of my friends owned them in London one black and the other Navy Blue but always in the garage been repaired
I’ve had zero issues with mine
instant like
Thanks bro
Great sounding car. This low it must almost feel like a Go-Kart.
It’s a blast to drive
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.
That’s awesome
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….
Wow- that’s crazy- R5 in college?
@@Tonsofgas Yeah he had wealthy parents, he owned a few toys at the mere age of 20.
Je suis FRENCH and very good car des années 80 difficelement trouvable en FRANCE bravo at you for this car
Thank u sir
Stallone and Brigitte honey moon car It dosen't get more 80er, GREAT GREAT car!!
Thank u sir
It´s FIVE speed gearbox ,no 4 speed, Awesome car !
Correct- 5 spd-
nice
Thanks
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 will tell my videographer to get on that- we will improve as we do more videos
Thanks
@@Tonsofgas your collection is killer, keep the videos coming and the subscriptions will come along. Thanks for putting in the effort!
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
You want to sell it?
@@Tonsofgas I just finished watching your first video of the whole car collection and that's cool that you know the owner of Callaway. I have no use for it anymore since I have a e30 bmw with a S52 swap, and I still have a full bbs body kit for a 84 GTI also.
Ok can you DM me on instagram @tonsofgas
Thanks
@@TonsofgasI have to make a new IG account.... do you happen to know anyone living in Arizona?
From the PNW. Fuck yeah!!!
I was born in Seattle
If I’d suddenly be rich I’d immediately buy one. If one is for sale at least
Sweet rides
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.
Just bought a rs200 EVO
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
It has the devil exhaust
That’s awesome, I had trouble getting in the U.K. when I had mine
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 🙇
Agreed
Awesome car! Have you thought about adding a Peugeot 205 T16, Giocattalo, or the Lancia Hyena?
I would love those cars
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!
Yes sir
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?
They were not, these had to be federalized and imported by a company
@@Tonsofgas Ah that will make it even more rare then. 😉 Here where i live in The Netherlands Renault is a common brand but this Turbo2 is still very rare here. I've seen the normal type 5 Renault's lots of times when i was a kid. Be careful with it and keep it in this great condition.👍 Found your channel today and of course subscribed to see what awesome car is next up in the line of reviews. Maybe one of the VW's you have? (the red Scirocco😎👌)
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’s a blast to drive, love it
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.
Crazy French ppl 😜🤣
The European s are just the best at making the best cars in the world
I second this
I want to see the garage.
We are doing a video this weekend so I would say within a week it will be published
Sounds awesome why the turbo livery
Bc that’s the way It came
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😂😂😂
Ha- I didn’t even see that 🤗😃🤣
I would like to drive all your cars .
All are minty
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?
Thank u sir
The R5 T1's factory got Aluminium doors as well...
You need to add the Renault clio v6 to your collection
I know I want one
@@Tonsofgas I started my career at Renault had the pleasure of driving the v6,
Was your red R5Turbo2 from Connecticut? Sounds like my old car.
Miami- unless u had a Porsche 930 sitting next to it?
@@Tonsofgas I had a red 930 with boxed rockers around that time too
does anyone know what performance mods that have been done apart from the exhaust!?
I’m not sure - maybe a little turbo tweak
it looks homo alright ✅️
I guess if ur dads playing the role
Wicked sexy car !!! If you ever need someone to help with all your cars I am your man currently unemployed as of today
Ha- why unemployed?
@@Tonsofgas done construction my whole life .. worked for my stepdad that recently passed away .
Do you have an E46 M3 in that collection?
Yes a 6spd with 16k miles
@@Tonsofgas I’ll be excited for that one ! I also have a 6spd with 116k
I thought turbo 1s had aluminium roofs?

Great car
L audi n'existerait pas si 2cv n avait pas etait voler pour en faire une cox 😂😮👉🤔
I’m in
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.
Correct
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.
Yeah you’re a bozo bro! Keep moving
What...are...you...talking...about ? Those cars were legendary for being user friendly and were some of the most succesful of their category, they were everywhere in Europe in the 80s and 90s... My first car was a second generation three doors, great memories, I even did international trips with it.
