RACING HERITAGE

Created for enthusiasts rather than luxury buyers, the Rallye became legendary for delivering outsized driving thrills from a modest and approachable platform. Lightweight, agile, and raw, it quickly earned its nickname: the Pocket Rocket.

This youthful and rebellious spirit is exactly what made it special then — and what makes it so desirable today among collectors who value pure driving enjoyment.

The Definition of a Pocket Rocket

Born in the golden era of the 80s, the Renault 5 Turbo 2 is more than just a car—it’s a symbol of speed, design, and boldness. Built for Group B, its mid-mounted 1.4-liter turbocharged engine delivered up to 158 hp to the rear wheels.

From 1982 to 1986, it was produced as a lighter, more accessible version of the original R5 Turbo. Today, it stands as a highly coveted gem for collectors and enthusiasts.

Naturally Aspirated, Carbureted Character

Power comes from a 1.3-liter inline four, equipped with twin-choke Weber carburetors, delivering crisp throttle response and a distinctly mechanical personality that modern cars simply can’t replicate. Rather than isolating the driver, the Rallye connects you directly to the engine, the road, and the experience — every input feels alive and intentional.

Simplicity as Design Philosophy

Steel wheels, reduced trim, bold graphics, and purposeful proportions reflect a car designed around weight reduction, not visual excess. Every element exists for a reason.

This honest design approach reinforces the Rallye’s character: a car built to be driven hard, enjoyed fully, and appreciated for what it truly is.

Momentum Driven Enjoyment

The 205 Rallye rewards commitment and precision, encouraging the driver to carry speed through corners and fully engage with the chassis. It thrives on momentum rather than brute force.

This driving style creates an addictive rhythm one that turns every road into an experience and every drive into a conversation between car and driver.

Performance Through InvolvementInvolvement

With 0–100 km/h in approximately 8.5 seconds.

Performance is delivered through lightweight construction and direct response, not headline numbers. The result is performance measured in engagement and feel — proof that true speed is often about connection, not horsepower.
