Concerning the Renault RE-20 Turbo

• Winner of Brazilian, Southern African and Austrian F-1 Grand Prix's in 1980, the Renault RE-20 Turbo proved the worth of Renault's turbo motor beyond a shadow of question. Renault's very first turbo-engined F-1 racer, the RE-01 showed up, to wide acclaim, in 1977. The very first success for the new motor was scored in 1979, whenever RS-10 won 1st and third spot on French Grand Prix. A number of improvements and refinements produced the RE-20, that was nearly 30kg lighter than its predecessor, and showcased a V-6, 1.5 liter, twin turbocharged engine with the capacity of an amazing 520BHP (approx.) output. The RE-20 can be a fine exemplory case of a winged, ground impact competition automobile, with inverted airfoil backside wing and part skirts to reduce lateral air movement.
