Rétromobile (2017) – Renault Turbo History on Display

The transfer of technology from F1 to production cars will be embodied by a selection of models exhibited by Renault Classic at the 2019 Rétromobile show, Feb. 6–10.

Renault is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its first, revolutionary Formula 1 victory at the event by exhibiting a 1979 RS 10 together with a selection of emblematic production cars. These models show how Renault, starting in 1980, transferred its technical expertise in turbocharging acquired in motorsport to its production range.
