All the turbo noises!

🦾

Boy that is one little cute car,really clean design.

That spec from the PRV engine would have made Delorean much more interesting.

You can't blanket say old SAE gross HP is 20% higher number than DIN, there is a small difference in the number of watts between DIN HP and imperial HP , just over 1% when tested like for like, but the difference between US SAE gross HP and net DIN comes from the test conditions - exhaust , ancillaries like Aircon pump generator etc. That difference in test conditions has a bigger % effect on small engines than large ones. If you compare modern net SAE HP and DIN HP you are back to just that small difference in watts between imperial and DIN HP.

Lovely! I am reminded of a gymkhana race sponsored by the Corvette Club held at the Indianapolis Raceway Park in 1969. To their chagrin, the fastest time of the day? A Fiat 850 (with a little help from Abarth). My 124 Coupe didn't do as well.

A strut brace was a game changer to the handling on my 156. If you still have it, I'd pop one on and take it out for a blast.

The dash with real wood looks better than anything made today. Nobody is going to enjoy making videos of 2025 model year cars with 50 year old screens.

my dad had loads of renaults 5 11 12 16 20 and 30 but i cud never get him to buy one of these ,, still looks good today

That V6 was used in the mid engined Clio developed by TVR Absolute gem of a car too.

This car was designed and built to be all over the magazines, to wonder car enthusiasts, then draw people into Renault dealers only to be sold a Renault 5 or Renault 11 Turbo of the era. In that way, it was very successful.

It doesn’t sound rubbish. It sounds angry. 😳

Excellent video, really enjoyed. May I ask what the current position is with the De Tomaso Pantera is? It must be 6 months since last discussed.

Wow !! Learned a lot from this video. Very interesting car. Thank you.

There is something about the front end of this car that reminds me of the Rover SD1.

Okay... There's a point when KZbinrs reach a new level. Dude... A Renault GTA? Level 11 unlocked

Great review and nice video... but hardly any view of the cars from the outside... could you please do some shots of the cars driving past? that 308 is such an eye candy!

😍

Very good pronunciation !

Just my opinion, but I think you've been a tad harsh on this iconic British Ford.

Nice Car, my one is Yellow 🙂

Mine had leather!

I've admired many a french car over the years, these though I have lusted over

Remember years ago in a magazine they had a limited edition le mans version sort of metallic purple colour absolutely beautiful.

It sounds awesome , and the turbo sounds futuristic.

Like this car Supra A80 and Honda Nsx, and eve Lotus Esprit were very good and didn't sale much

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the text under the video states 'faster, lighter, and cheaper than it's competitors from Porsche. The Porsche 944 turbo from 1985 had 217hp. The Renault GTA Turbo from 1985 had 197hp. The Porsche 944 Turbo from 1985 weighed 1180kg. You stated in this video, the GTA Turbo weighed 1150-1200kg. Identical to the Porsche in reality. The 1985 944 Turbo did 0-100kph in 5.9 secs. Top speed 261kph. the 1985 GTA Turbo did 0-100kph in 6.4 secs. Top speed 240kph. Along with many technological advances such as ABS braking, a transaxle, and more, the Porsche was Faster, More Powerful, and the same weight. So as much as I love your content, you really should research a bit more before stating things which are simply untrue.

Well, Everything wasn’t designed in CAD back then, it was clay and physical models, That’s how various cars turned out more different than today.

Oh thought so...its harrys test road again just north of burford ...yes this is a great road ..used to be a happy chappie with my lancias here ..the road has all you need 😂😊😂😂..

You Sir have driven True Engineering Genius. Nothing Drives Like a Mini, nothing Ever will. Re Start Production now I say, its never been so relevant.

Wasn't it harrowing not being able to tell the speed from the speedometer?

これは、もしかしてパンテーラ

My memories of 1960's Fiats is that they were rust buckets!

I get very emotional when I see these windscreen wipers work. For me, one of the best looking cars ever made, in the French tradition.

The correct answer is obviously "You should by both and then all in between!' ALFA, Always Looking For Another!

Sounds glorious 👌

What a great noise for a turbo v6 !

200 hp is not exactly little considering the fact that cars were so much lighter than the last 20 or so years. I remember a kind of review of a Porsche 911 in 1981 were they spoke of the "immense power" you have to beware of, of ... 180hp.

Look at that centre console - the incar hifi dominates the portion the console that's moves into the dash. 80s turbo always a handful on a wet road they were either on or off 🤣. If you get a chance in an Isuzu Piazza Jack be wary even in the 'Lotus Handling' version.

Keep your piece of pipe to play around on a Saturday morning with the twin SUs of your MGB. If your chasing a misfire on a 8 or 12 cylinder engine in a particular rev range, and perhaps also intermittent, your wasting your time, even if you happen to be very charming and called Ian Tyrrell !!!

A wonderful car about half the price of a Porsche Carrera in the late 80s but blighted by the British suspicion of French cars of this ilk. Probably at its best as a continental grand tourer. I very nearly bought one of these in the late 90s to replace a 21 Turbo Quadra. The price then - £3500. How I wish.

Boris Becker won where?

Steering feel - is it weighing or weighting?

Beautiful car

That's (as usual) a spot on review. Let it settle and use the mid-range is exactly how to do it. As a continental express they just chomp high speed autobahn miles. I have had two of those. The second was a daily driver for 18 years, it had the full leather and aircon when I bought it with only 5k miles on the clock. I'd have another in a heatbeat (but with two Alpines already I'd be pushing my luck!). It was and still is one of the best cars I have driven. Buying one now would need much care, although mine was utterly reliable it would be very easy to buy a lot of trouble.

They’re unique. Their time will never come again but they are the tangible reminders of a time. May is crazy to sell that beautiful piece of art that you can still drive today. Good video. Enjoyed it.

I love those Renault ‘Pétale’ seats!

Your French pronunciation was fine. I’m wondering if you meant ‘weighting’, though?

Tractor engineering just like the F1 team

Answering the question before warching the video is easy becaue it is the best of both.
