About the Renault Super 5 GT Turbo Phase 2 Pearl White Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Renault Super 5 GT Turbo Phase 2 in Pearl White reproduces the compact 1980s hot hatch, with opening doors, bonnet and boot exposing the turbocharged engine bay. Both model and box arrive factory-fresh. A period-defining subject for a French performance hatchback collection.

Renault built the Super 5 GT Turbo as a genuinely light, front-engined turbo hatch, a formula distinct from the mid-engined 5 Turbo's rally-bred approach but sharing the same appetite for boost.

Norev's Diecast Rendering of the Super 5 GT Turbo

This Super 5 is a zinc alloy diecast, and the metal's weight lends the compact hatchback a satisfying density given how small the real car's footprint was. Doors, bonnet and boot open, exposing the turbocharged four-cylinder beneath the bonnet and the sporty cabin trim the GT Turbo badge carried over the standard Super 5. Diecast tolerances give the panel gaps a touch more width than resin would allow, a reasonable trade for the engine bay access this subject rewards. Pearl White is a genuinely period-appropriate colour choice, carrying subtle depth under direct light that suits the car's understated, boxy 1980s styling far better than a loud modern hue would. Arriving new, both model and box are entirely unhandled, ready straight for display.

The Super 5 GT Turbo in a Hot Hatch Lineup

The Super 5 GT Turbo occupied a genuinely different niche from turbocharged rivals like the Peugeot 205 GTI, leaning on boost rather than naturally aspirated revs to deliver its performance, a distinction worth noting on any 1980s hatchback shelf. Displayed beside other French hot hatches from the same decade, or paired with the more extreme mid-engined 5 Turbo for contrast, it tells a clear story about Renault's range strategy at the time. The opening bodywork adds genuine value, since the turbocharged engine bay is precisely the detail that separates this GT Turbo badge from an ordinary Super 5, and a fresh factory-condition example presents it cleanly.
