Renault's 1980 entry into the FIA Grand Prix circuit had a heart of a tiny 91.0 cid turbocharged Gordini EFI V6; and before you say "How pathetic was that?", it's horsepower rating topped out at 520 HP! That was 50 HP more than the vaunted 3.0 L Ford-Cosworth V8. That was some amazing bit of technological witchcraft! This particular model by Exoto replicates the #16 entrant and winner of the Brazilian Grand Prix driven by Rene Arnoux. I love the wheels on this model.

I love the wheels on this model.

Those big & little  tires are quite convincing.
