Legende Automobiles Turbo 3

The Renault 5 Turbo is one of the most exciting cars ever produced, a true icon from the rallying in the 1980s. The legendary Renault rally car, is now reborn as the Turbo 3, a stunning combination of retro design with modern technology. Developed by Los Angeles-based Legende Automobiles, the stunning restomod is equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces more than 400 horsepower and plenty of torque. And just like the legendary rally machine, it will come with an old-school manual gearbox and none of that sequential paddle nonsense. It also features a hand-built body made almost entirely from carbon fiber, that gives the car a wider, more aggressive stance, a set of LED headlights, bespoke air curtains, an extended rear wing, and a two-piece diffuser that houses a set of square tailpipes. The interior has a clean and modern look with a digital instrument cluster and dual climate controls, plus a full roll cage, and bucket seats. Legende has yet to reveal the price or build quantities, but we are giving this beauty restomod our seal of approval.
