Historical background of the Renault 5 Turbo:
The Renault 5 Turbo made its debut in the early 1980s, designed and built specifically for rally competition to meet the FIA Group B homologation requirements. Thanks to its mid-mounted turbo engine and wide, aggressive bodywork, this model revolutionized the approach to sporty hatchbacks. Wide fenders, large air intakes, and a lightweight construction enabled it to succeed on rally stages, such as victory at the 1981 Monte Carlo Rally. The Renault 5 Turbo was primarily used during the Group B era (1980–1986, contemporary times for motorsport of that period).

Features of the Tamiya 24368 model:

• High level of body detail, with precisely recreated wide fenders and characteristic air intakes.

• Chassis and suspension elements are rendered with great attention to technical detail.
• The set includes a clear assembly manual and high-quality decals to accurately replicate the original rally car markings.
