Buy one if you want to die lol, if you crash going that fast in one of those its usually fatal,

thats why they banned the Metro 6R4s in rallying as well because they where so fast,

and the fact that the kept hitting spectators.

As ClarkieV6, he has one for hill climbing I think?



Std Road ones where only 160bhp 1.4 litre engine, Mid Enined RWD but weighed less than a tonne :)

The Maxi rally version was 350bhp, but not road available.

The 5 Turbo 1/2 where one of my first loves in cars, that why I bought a V6 255, they are out of the same stable :)

thats a turbo 1 in the first pic i think not a 2...

the maxi is the grp b car not the turbo 1 and 2...

the clio v6 is a poor attempt at a copy of the turbo 1 and 2 in a clio shell ...

Lancias lead driver, Henri Toivonen, was dominating the 1986 championship and the Tour de Corse rally when his S4 left the road during a twisty tarmac stage. The car went off the edge of the road, hitting trees and rocks while sliding down a hillside. Toivonen and his navigator, Sergio Cresto, were killed. There were no witnesses to the crash, and the subsequent fire completely destroyed the car, leaving the remains unrecognizable as a vehicle. The heat from the fire was so intense that all that remained of the car was a blackened space frame. Group B and Group S were instantly cancelled for the 1987 season; Ford and Audi withdrew from Group B immediately. The other works teams decided to see the season out.

Typical type of stupid remark I have come to expect from you pal.

Let me see, Turbo 1 and 2 was based on the Renault hatchback at the time namely the Renault 5, its been turned into a Mid engined RWD 160bhp car.

Move on today and the V6 255 is almost the same, based on the Renault hatchback of the day, namely the Clio, its been turned into a Mid Engined RWD 255bhp car.

Seems like a good attempt at the turbo 2 class of car if you ask me, plus it has a higher power to weight ratio and better top speed.

The Turbo 2 was bloody expensive when it first came out too.;)

ahh but what you are forgetting, the turbo 1 and 2 handled and went round corners fast... the v6 doesnt !!!

v6 owners come with a free fitted chip on there sholders... turbo 2s didnt :p

i have only seen 1 maybee 2 turbo 1s or 2s on the road... compared to the mass produced clio v6 which is getting more and more common :p

im with malice, the turbo 1 and 2 cars were made purely for homolgation, the v6 wasnt

another thing that really pisses me off with the v6 is the weight of the thing, cos renault couldnt be bothered to make all new wings and decided to add aload of fibre glass
to it funny when people on here sl*g off 1.2 peeps for doing that and renault do the same to there top spec model lmao

one off arches etc, and they could of shaved off about 200kg lol

another thing that annoys me is the output of the engine, its pants for a 3.0 look at what bmw, porsche etc can get out of there engines, and its just plain laziness, its not to much to ask for 90-100bhp per litre 270bhp would be fast, 300bhp would be real quick, a missed oppuntity, i still love them as i am a reno nut and they cant do wrong but i will pick holes in them

oh and btw you could specify a 200bhp upgrade through the renault dealer on the turbo2 200bhp 900kgs rear drive vs 255 and 1400kg lol, all over

oh and you get blagging rights cos u can say you are driving a toned down rally car pmsl

The reason they was band wernt from the cars being to fast or crashing into spectaors it was because they wernt passing the build regulations. the cars was being built so quick and with no sfaty checks that they was becoming to dnagerous for anyone to use. the rs200 was a major player in this ban and most of the old evo spec rs200 had been sold for scrap and dismantled.

dont think i have ever seen an evo spec once. have seen the road production models but no evo :(

You are the only person here with a chip on your shoulder mate..... but looking at your car I can see why......lol:devilish:

But I expect from your vast experience of Turbo 1, 2s and V6 255s you would know (or like to think you would...lol)
