Renault 5 GT Turbo MK2, Die-Cast Car, 1:18

Black and yellow stripes cross the silver Renault 5 GT Turbo MK2, while white rally wheels catch the eye beneath the numbered doors. The Tour De Corse 1989 subject gives this miniature a precise place in a motorsport display. A. Oreille is the named driver, and the window-side crew markings add another point to examine at close range. Its die-cast metal body reproduces the vehicle at 1:18 scale, large enough for the competition graphics to remain prominent on a display shelf. The front spoiler gives the nose its low outline, while the roof antenna rises above the bodywork. Windshield wipers and side mirrors offer further exterior details to inspect, and the visible cabin invites a look through the glazing. Viewed from a front three-quarter angle, the wheels, stripes and number 17 share the spotlight. Among other competition replicas, this Renault offers a distinctly event-specific subject to revisit.
