Rare Renaults

[Tom]

#1 The Safrane Biturbo.

In 1994, Renault launched the high-performance Biturbo version. This model featured a twin-turbo, 280-bhp evolution of the 3.0-liter V6, developed with the assistance of German tuning firm Hartge, coupled with all wheel drive However, it was only available with a manual transmission, as no automatic gearbox existed anywhere in the world for a transversely mounted engine of that horsepower with AWD.

Feel free to add your own.

not as rare as some:

That would be my fav. I've seen more v6's on the road than these little beauties.

Infact the only one I've seen was on my way back from Wembley after Bristol City lost to Stoke in the Auto Windscreen Cup 1999.

Happy times.

Yup they had a crazy sort of wind deflector type thing. It blasted the air up infront of you to keep the flie/rocks out of your eyes. Not allowed for sale in UK.

I wondered how long before this car /the engine was ever mentioned Tom.

In theory the bits for turbo V6 are there as people now know.
