You're probably wondering why French people suck so much or why they smell so bad. I can't answer the first but it involves part of the second question, which is the lack of deoderant. But besides their foul smell and crazy socialist government they have provided the world with the 1980's Renalut R5 Turbo.
This car came from the lowly Renault LeCar. Engineers over at Renault decided to be bold and brash for once in their lives and stick a 1.5l engine in the back. Great thing is that they probably stole German engineering work to make the engine turbocharged with a potency of 1200 HP. Think about the stateside Fastiva owned by Jay Leno, which was ten years after the R5. Stock trim these engines put out 160 HP, with le power packages of over 300 HP. Yay!
These cars were designed for rally racing in mind. Unequal control arms on all four corners and non power brakes and steering. That pretty much makes it like Rocco Sifredi; tough, hard, and powerful. Yay! The rear tires measure about 10 inches in width.
So if you're up for trying new French things like a nice bleu cheese, eschire butter, Chateu Y'quem wine, Animal Trainer : Rocco Sifredi, then you might be interested in the R5.
Oh yeah $20K for one of these les babies.
