This R5 GT Turbo was acquired 5 years ago by the current owner, a professional body builder. He undertook a complete restoration of the car while making important modifications such as the installation of a 2.0l turbo engine of Mégane 2 RS.

The body was then completely repainted in the tungsten grey color. All exterior accessories like headlights, lights or indicators are in new condition. The body joints are new.

The interior has been emptied and rearranged with the removal of the rear bench seats and the addition of two Recaro bucket seats from Mégane 3 RS. A vintage Devil roll bar of R5 GT Coupe origin was bolted and welded. The seller indicates that this was installed following the plans of the Renault 5 GT Coupe. The dashboard, console and door panels remain original. The driver's window is manually operated while the passenger window is electric. An instrument cluster has been installed in addition to the original instrument cluster to retrieve engine information, as the original meters are only partially functional. A multimedia station has been installed on the original console.

The seller installed a 2.0l turbocharged Mégane 2 RS engine that developed 225hp when it left the factory. This one remained in its original configuration, receiving only a conical air filter, exhaust and custom management. The engine was completely disassembled and refurbished, including segmentation, connecting rod bearings, gaskets etc. The 5 speed manual gearbox has been custom stepped for this configuration, and is accompanied by a quaife autoblocker.The clutch is new.
