Take one look at this just-about-perfect Renault 5 Turbo 3 restomod, and you’ll understand the no-expense-spared approach by Legende Automobiles. Not only were they able to preserve the purpose-driven spirit of the ’80s original Group B racer, but they were also able to take things to the next level. The hand-built carbon fiber body is entirely new but looks like it came from the factory. It also gets new LED lighting, upgraded suspension, a roof spoiler, special wheels, functional air curtains in the C-pillar, and red trim all over the muscular Turbo 3’s body. The interior is even more stunning than the exterior thanks to racing seats/harnesses, a big WRC-style sequential manual shifter, a big digital instrument cluster, automatic climate control, a body-matching roll cage, and red trim to match the car’s exterior. The power upgrade is also impressive, and it comes by way of a turbo-four emitting 400 horsepower (up from the original car’s modes 158). No price has been disclosed, but if you have significant coin, you can inquire to Legende on their website.
