Production
Every figure says what it counts.
No production figures recorded yet.
History
Renault's first Turbo cars were built to meet Group 4 homologation. Production began at the Alpine factory in May 1980, and the 400 cars needed were built in time for the car's rally debut.
The Turbo 2 came along in 1983. It used fewer bespoke parts and more of a standard Renault 5, which made it cheaper to build than the first cars.
