Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1982 Renault 5 Turbo Group 4, chassis VF1822000E0000019, was originally prepared for Renault Sport and driven by Alain Prost in the 1982 Rallye du Var.

In a post-race interview, Prost stated that he wanted to compete again, but by 1983 team bosses would not authorise it.
