I'd hate to ruin the originality of this, but if I were to own it I would have to replace the turbo with a modern twin-scroll design to cut down the horrendous turbo lag.
Who wants a taste of ‘80s rally car glory? This 1986 Renault R5 Turbo 2 is being auctioned off on eBay. Is it genuine? Yes. Yes it is. The seller says he’s put 3000 miles on the car through 15 years of ownership. We will remain envious of whoever wins the auction.
Seen a cool car for sale that we should feature? Email us the link.

its probably got big brakes. Just keep the accelerator matted.
This is cool enough that my wife showed it to me. 
Oh, jeez. This is (one of) my dream car(s).
There was a time that I really really wanted one of those. Couldn't afford it and ended up building Kimini.
I'm pretty sure I will always think this is one of the coolest cars ever.
One of the all time big "WANTS" on my list.
is that thing missing a front lugnut?
There was one for sale at a local Cars and Coffee a year or two ago. So. Much. Want.

Don't forget, back in the day Renault used three-lug wheels.
