It's not a Maxi, it's "just" a Turbo The Maxi looks like this:


I had a photo of a Maxi and it really seemed different, but this one is also so wide I thought it was a different Maxi, but still a Maxi.


I only get a black screen in the video....


Download the K-lite codec pack... I have it and I can see the vid.

Dani... the major difference is that the MAXI is MR and this Turbo is FR, right?

Oh....it sounds very familiar for me the title "a Renault 5 Turbo doing 360 degrees" since Mr Ragnotti turns the Renault 5 Turbo or the Maxi turbo in every World Series event and i had the chance to see the world series held in Bilbao last summer. However, i didnt have the chance to see Jeannot doing this stuff on the Renault 5.

On the other hand, although weve got the chance to see many Renault Maxi 5 Turbo looking cars in many pics, id bet that almost all of them are some Renault 5 Turbo with the maxi turbo look, for instance, a Maxi Turbo was a renault 5 turbo evolution instead a completely new car such as the pug 205 turbo 16, the Lancia delta S4 or the Metro 6R4, as a result, it wasnt necessary to build more than 8 Maxi 5 Turbos in order to be homologated as a Group B.....and if we start supposing that 5 or 6 of them are rallying versions, sadly there must be just about a couple of them as the road version

Finally the Renault 5 GT Turbo is a completely different car from the Renault 5 Turbo; for instance the GT Turbo is a hot hatch renault 5
