The GTI craze was amreadu in full swing and the Peugeot 205 GTI and the Golf were thrilling the heart of a whole generation. To take up the mantle of the Renault 5 Alpine Turbo, the French brand reviewed the lines of the Supercinq with an aggressive body kit. The small Cleon engine was equipped with a Turbo Garret, transfiguring the peaceful city car. The maximum speed is close to 200 km / h thanks to its 115 horsepower and a reduced weight of only 830 kg. The Supercinq GT Turbo became the no. 1 rival of the 205 GTI.
