Italeri 3652 Renault R5 Alpine Rally

For the 1977 Rally season the French company Renault developed a racing version of the popular small R5. In spite of the fact that this car was designed for very different conditions, the French technicians managed to obtain notable power from the engine: 150CV, and a noteworthy drive ratio, which thanks to a weight of only 800 Kg. made the R5 a very manoeuvrable and fast car. The R5 obtained great results in the San Remo and Monte Carlo rallies in 1978 and successively gratifying results in the Acropolis Rally and in Africa.
