Half the displacement of its rivals and still about 520 hp: the RE-20 ran a 1.5-litre V6 with two turbochargers when most of the grid used 3-litre engines without them. Renault had brought turbo power to Formula 1 in 1977 with the RS-01, and in 1980 the RE-20 won three Grands Prix, after which other teams followed.
