One of our very special customers stopped by and let us photograph and film his incredible Renault 5 GT Turbo .. and what a machine it is. 🔥
This build has been carefully thought out from top to bottom, featuring everything from a Garret T25 hybrid turbo, EFI fuel injection conversion, forged aluminium upgrades, GT Tuning intercooler, Gaz coilovers, upgraded brakes, limited-slip differential, and a fully restored OEM-style interior. Every modification has been chosen with performance, reliability and originality in mind.
💬 Favourite modification?
"The EFI fuel injection. The R5 GTT originally came with a carb, and cold and hot starts were always a problem. Now it starts like a modern car every single time."
💬 What surprises you most?
"The handling and performance. Once the turbo spools up, it violently pins you back in your seat. It's such a light car that it genuinely scares me sometimes! With no ABS or traction control, you really have to stay on your toes."
💬 Biggest difference to how it drives?
"The coilovers transformed how planted the car feels, but they definitely made the ride much harsher on today's roads."
💬 Any regrets?
"Honestly, none. Every modification was carefully planned because of the cost involved. I couldn't have done it without a couple of great mates who know far more than I do, and a huge thank you to the Halo team for bringing the paintwork back to the incredible finish you see today."
This is exactly why we love what we do, meeting passionate owners with amazing stories behind their builds. Thank you for letting us capture this iconic Renault 5 GT Turbo! 🙌
