Description
-Black with Black and Grey Cloth and grey carpeting, 2.5 Liter Turbocharged V6, 5-Speed manual gearbox.
Conceived as a rival to the Porsche 944 Turbo and Lotus Esprit Turbo, the Renault GTA V6 Turbo made its debut in 1985. The work of Renault's recently acquired subsidiary Alpine (a company with a formidable competition pedigree), the newcomer was notable for its low curb weight (1180kg) and aerodynamically efficient silhouette (cd 0.29). Based around a steel backbone chassis equipped with all-round independent double-wishbone suspension, front / rear ant-roll bars, ventilated disc brakes and rack and pinion steering, the 2+2 coupe was principally bodied using fiberglass. Longitudinally rear-mounted, its alloy 2.5 liter SOHC V6 engine was force-fed by a Garrett T3 turbocharger and allied to five-speed manual transmission. With a quoted 200bhp and 210lbft of torque on tap, the French supercar was capable of 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds, 0-100mph in 16.0 seconds and 155mph.
A rare sight on US roads presents a unique opportunity to own something special and all the while the likelihood of seeing another in the states is slim to none.
Upgrades include Fleischmann/Tramont alloy wheels, sport exhaust system, Rear spoiler and Modern stereo head unit, this Renault also boasts electric windows, electric mirrors, power assisted steering. New Brake pads and rotors, painted calipers.
Comes complete with owner's manual, pouch, radio manual, Spare wheel, Jack and Lugwrench.
