About the Renault RE-20 Turbo
Winner of the
Brazilian, South African and Austrian F-1 Grand Prix�s in 1980, the Renault
RE-20 Turbo proved the worth of Renault�s turbo engine beyond a shadow of a
doubt. Renault�s first turbo-engined F-1 racer, the RE-01 appeared, to wide
acclaim, in 1977. The first victory for the new engine was scored in 1979, when
the RS-10 won 1st and 3rd place at the French Grand Prix. A series of
improvements and refinements produced the RE-20, which was nearly 30kg lighter
than its predecessor, and featured a V-6, 1.5 liter, twin turbocharged engine
capable of an amazing 520BHP (approx.) output. The RE-20 is also a fine example
of a winged, ground effect race car, with inverted airfoil rear wing and side
skirts to reduce lateral air movement.
