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.

  • Renault RE-20 Turbo, 1980 season
  • Tamiya 12033, 1:12 Big Scale series, about 389 mm long
  • Coil-sprung suspension, steering front wheels, moving side skirts and removable cowls
  • Photo-etched radiator, intercooler, oil cooler and brake disc parts

A large kit for a long project. It is delivered in plain plastic, unbuilt; adhesive and paint come from elsewhere.
