The Renault R5 Turbo isn’t just an icon, it’s a rebellion on four wheels. Born from rally dust and homologation rules, it took the humble hatchback and turned it into a mid-engined, wide-bodied force of pure attitude. It doesn’t whisper legacy, it shouts it, unapologetically.
Photographing this car was like chasing a ghost from another era, wild, raw, unforgettable. I wanted to strip away the noise and focus on what makes the R5 Turbo so magnetic: its brutal proportions, its fearless stance, and that undeniable '80s fire. All of it shot in natural light, letting the sun and shadows paint the story with honesty.
From the soft morning glow catching on the flared arches to late-day contrast that carved out every sharp angle, I let the light reveal what time can’t dull, character. The kind of character that doesn’t fade with age, but deepens.
This isn’t nostalgia, it’s a celebration of rebellion, design, and the spirit of drivers who lived a little sideways.
The R5 Turbo isn’t just part of history. It is history.
And in the right light, it still burns bright.
