History
After Ragnotti and Andrié's second place in the 1980 Cévennes rally, Renault Sport offered a Group 4 client evolution, the "Cévennes" type, from June 1981: either as a turnkey car from Dieppe or as a competition kit for a standard R5 Turbo. A kit raised power to 185 CV, and the car weighed 925 kg with a 10-point cage. After the 1982 Tour de Corse victory Renault Sport offered the Group B "Tour de Corse" type from January 1983, with 240 to 285 CV depending on the kit.
