The Turbo 2 was built with steel panels in numbers great enough to qualify for homologation.The first batch of 400 Renault 5 Turbos (Turbo 1's) WERE produced to comply with Group 4 homologation. A second version, the Turbo 2, were introduced using stock Renault 5 parts in replacement of many light alloy parts of the original R5 Turbo 1. The Turbo 2 was ultimately cheaper, faster and more dependable than the Turbo 1. Either way, a VERY cool car!
