1980 Renault RE-20
Turbo Technology Champions
Renault returned to Grand Prix
racing in 1977, having won the very first Grand Prix ever in
1906! The comeback was built around a superb iron-block, belt
driven, four-cam, V6 engine. Although their idea did not produce the hoped
for Championship, it did win many races, and they did win on technology:
for they led the way for all others to follow.
Furious
detail! Our miniature replica, designed in grand
1:18 scale, is a thing of rare beauty. Special features include a
removable cowling to showcase an unprecedented level of furious
detail: fully wired and plumbed V6 Renault-Gordini engine, twin turbos
coupled to accurate intercoolers, water and oil cooling radiators in
photo-etch, fully detailed cockpit with suede-like covered seat, all
aluminum tub, pipes, hydraulic hoses, wires, and much more.
Functioning features
include: true-to-the-original suspension system with genuine coil springs
and mechanical links, sophisticated steering mechanism, and rotating disc
brakes.
