Renault 5 GT Turbo vs Twingo 133 cup on Fifth Gear

[50JohnZTR2]

no bling on the ring

[TheMetalCottage]

All R5s have a not good ventilation...

...I remember. :)

[derbigpr500]

Gotta love how on every single video on youtube, there has to be some retarded american contributing to the global image of americans as the dumbest nation on planet. Pure ignorance and stupidity...

[Trek4ee]

which seazon and which episode was this?

[furballmotors]

@Trek4ee It was aired the beginning of January 2009.

[juanspalacios]

renault the true shit

[OO7RX7]

Twingo is for fags n shemales....GT-5 is for real Men!

[p1inthestreets]

you don't need to say anything more, Renault 5 GT Turbo, 2 times Gr.N World Champion.

[Zeggawong]

Only 3000 pounds?

[galbmw]

20 year old piece of French tin? this car was built from the same cars that competed in group B racing. it has a proper hardcore racing pedigree. you cant just go and call it a tin can.

[mipmipmipmipmip]

Sounds like mr oizo at the later part of the video, am I right?

[zerosk8erfreak15]

LOL @ the foggy ass windows in the 5

[TheReg73]

Don't forget there's was rainy weather...la twingo ne peut être devant la R5 GTT normalement...even a clio II 1.6 16v is better than twingo RS...and when i see that there's now a "gordini" Twingo RS...i feel sick...shame on renault !!

[flowmap]

Già il fatto che vangano paragonate due auto progettate a più di 20 anni di distanza tra loro e che la prova venga fatta sul bagnato (a sicuro scapito del gtt) significa che GLI AUTORI SONO GIA' CONSAPEVOILI che l'R5 GTturbo è un auto fantastica e difficile da sconfiggere. Sull'asciutto come sarebbe andata?? eheheh, e su un percorso misto stretto??... la 5 GTturbo sarebbe stata vincitrice indiscussa.

Ho un R5 GTturbo ph2 nero da oltre 14 anni e ogni giorno da soddisfazioni come fosse il primo.

[tregazzelle]

SOLO UN COGLIONE FA UN TEST DEL SUPERCINQUE TURBO SUL BAGNATO

é ovvio che una macchina costruita 20 anni dopo sia telaisticamente piu' performante

[mrhungary]

At this weather conditions you know you can forget 1st, 2nd and even 3rd gear in the gtt (no electric aids). However the twingo has all, so the electric systems helps putting down the perfect power to the road. If 5th gear would re-make the vid on dry surface I bet the gtt would be at least 2 sec ahead of the twingo. I bet the marketing people wont let them :)))))

[10mak01]

Back in the day the R5 dominated on circuit tracks. The Twingo just has the benefit of a bit of modern engineering on its side. Didn't you hear the commentator?, He gets it, just equip a better set of tires and wheels and the R5 would have stuck in.

[WRC810]

I dont think any of you get this not even the stupid on the video.

R5 GT Turbo was made for the tight hairpins on twisty roads not on circuit trakcs.There is NO WAY Twingo could beat the R5 on a tight twisty road.

The R5 is hard to drive but if you master it you are on TOP.I know that because i had one

[furballmotors]

That is exactly it!

The 5 is a suprisingly hard work, but I know with mine around the twisties it goes really well. The turbo gives you a lot of mid range grunt which is exactly what you need. Exactly the reason the 5 did so well in various rallies.

For those that havn't driven a 5 Gt turbo, trust me it's a lot of fun and feels like a go kart just like the other classic, the Peugeot 205 GTi.

[hardcoremedic]

@WRC810 at last, someone posting who really had one (I did too)

damn hard buggers when you get the boost on the way out of a corner, but the faces on big carowners when you get round the twisty bits in the road , are priceless!

GTT rules (still! )

[rocket91940]

@WRC810 : The fact is GTT is an amazing car, regarding to its specs, but just try to push an Renault Sport car like a Clio on its limits and you will see how far away your little Five is... Even on a dry road :)

But I agree that GTT and other oldschool hatch are very fun to drive, more than a an 2010-Audi S4... but that's it

[moneywagon1]

@WRC810 this isn't the same car as a R5 Turbo is it? Looks to be missing the wheel arches? R5 Turbo 2 is what im thinking of maybe?

[escorpiaovermelho]

@moneywagon1 The R5 Turbo and Turbo2 have exactly the same look and they are older then this one here. This is a R5 GT Turbo. 1.4cc, 120BHP. The R5 Turbo and Turbo2 had an 1.4cc, 160BHP although the Turbo was lighter then the Turbo2.

[Elektrycznyswiat]

Ha ha ha > > Śmieszne jest to że przekręceniem jednej śrubki wynik był by inny . Nie wspominając już o ddcięciu kilku rurek i otwartej klapce w chłodnicy powietrza . . . O większej turbinie nie ma co pisac . . . 300 KM. ???!!!

[HicksVr]

Dopo 20/25 anni è quanto di meglio siano riusciti a fare? Guadagnare 2 secondi? E' questo che vogliono far vedere? Cazzo bravi! Complimenti!! Muhuhahahaha!!

Che stupidi questi confronti..

La R5 GT T è un pezzo di storia, questi bussolotti moderni nascono solo per accontentare quelli che di auto ne capiscono ben poco..

[LiquidEvolva]

And im the happy owner of a stock R5 GTT :D just felt like saying that lol

[AYRTONSENNANUMBER1]

TWINGO THE NUMBER ONE.5oo abart fuck...from Italy

[wattefukk]

fuck american cars

[devilarchroll]

@wattefukk Dude check this out it is defo an all american car that i would have very niceon ebay Item number: 360170543929 .

[MirceaBv]

I don't see Belgians making better cars than us.....

[Hinloopen]

Ford Mondeo beats your Taurus hands down. And it's Belgian made, that's right.

[MirceaBv]

Ford is an American Corporation dumbass!

I meant if you have a national company that makes cars not that you manufacture them for other companies!

[Hinloopen]

Ford Mondeo has as little to do with America as a proper educational system. The Mondeo was designed and engineered in Germany by European employees and its factory is located in Genk, Belgium.

Wasn't the American division of Ford started by an antisemitic racist called Henry something? Could you remember me what that assholes name was please?

[MirceaBv]

The American division? He founded the whole company dude!

[xrlabs]

@wattefukk doesn't sound like you ever drove one

[Al3xis007]

who wants a yanky tosser mobile......11.5sec 1/4? i dont think so

[HENRYHOBBS1]

people who like american cars are morons,there cheap tat wid big engines,take handling over straight line speed everytime especially on our uk roads.205gti rules

[MirceaBv]

Everyone has it's own preferences! How do you know your likes are better than mine?

You are a true moron because you can't accept the idea that nobody has to think like you!

Did you ever drive a Corvette C6? It's better than any Ferrari from that price range!

Or a Shelby GT 500 Eleanor? You could only dream for...

BTW that shitty Veyron has already lost it's title of fastest production car in face of the SSC Aero! And the Aero looks and handles better to!

[HENRYHOBBS1]

american cars are shit flawed tat,drive one on a tricky uk b road and it would fall to bits but probably skid off the road before that happened.a great handling car keeps u happier than a fast car

[MirceaBv]

I doubt all the roads in the world are like yours in UK....

American cars are made for our roads and highways!

[10mak01]

how about a gt40. There isn't a british car or french car that could compete on any road.

[HENRYHOBBS1]

good point,but u gotta pay £100k extra for one of those aint ya.a gt40 couldnt compete on the lake district roads were i live,it would be bottomin out n to wide.great car though

[junglistbunglist]

Mate shut up about american cars. People watchin a video about renault sports cars couldnt give a shit. Have you considered that some people dont want a car that will just go fast in a straight line on a 12 lane highway? Some people like to drive cars that are nimble and love to be chucked around a track. Its not all about speed you could race against it in one of your shitty v8 yank guzzlers and probably win but i guarantee the bloke in the renault is having much more fun.

[Poseidon99Jeus]

@junglistbunglist Renault, Citroen and Peugeot r the worst cars !! Everything sucks for French !!

[andyfitzgig]

the dude is jason plato.google him and his credentials are clear.

[alexthepalix]

dude are you obsessed with internet hating Renault 5's? All you've done for the past 4 days is bitch about how bad they are.

GO GET LAID!

What do you even drive? No wait I don't care! go read a fuckin book or somethin geeeez

[alexthepalix]

American cars cannot go round a track for shit. All the designers do is put a huge V8 and an auto-box together and then scratch heads when it gets beat round a track by a 1.4 turbo french car.

[alexthepalix]

yeah but I'm guessing your from america and therefore have no idea about mpg or power : weight.

[AdrianC12345]

I'd buy a twingo if they sold it un the US but i do also like the 5 turbo and i do think that those old tires hindered the 5T but the twingo would still beat it(I think)

[howler316]

modern tyers and it wud have it

[daniely096]

defo

[howler316]

they were 120 bhp standard fast as fuck though. no weight second only to the astra 16v red top in a straight line

[Kia0Rio]

i thought all renault had a poor reliability record? maybe that applies only to the old ones.

[lupo0144]

150bhp in the R5GTT?.... 120 in the MK2 and 115 in the MK1! My white GTT (H404 NTG) was a flying machine... must have been around 150 BHP... air filter plus scorpion 4"..... never reliable... but could pass traffic like a sports bike...i had her when i was 24yrs old in 1994, so she was only 4yrs old! would buy 1 2moro if i had somewhere 2 keep her! there's a mint black phase 1 on pistonheads.... no mods what so ever...........

[showaninja]

LIES!!!!!!! gt turbo wud eat that twingo if it didnt hve those 100 year old tyres on and it wasnt raining. abit unfair but im preaty sure every 1 with sense would have the renault gt 5. better driving experience

[C4XGT]

bullsh*** the renault gt 5 turbo has 150 bhp u freak! the twingo gt is nice but it so much heavier then the 5 so it would win. 80s hatchback cars are so much better then todays hatchbacks. i was gunna buy a twingo but it over priced so i got a C2 Code instead better buy a mile with looks n u can modify it to the max unlike a twingo ! i have a axgt aswell that was out when the 5 was relised! got 7 sec on the axgt

[cocacolaholic]

hahahahahaha its 120bhp you pillock!!!! well the phase 2s have 120, phase 1 have 115

[PMF126]

you would be suprised how much heavier the materials were back then compared as today. hatchbacks may be bigger now but the materials are much lighter. also breaks and engine management have improved alot over the years.

[ivangttf2]

wet ground, old tires from 20 years ago, for unfair comparative gt turbo, I like this test in dry ... I love the gt turbo

[weikalice]

that twingo is a really shit, long life R5 GTT!!!

[abcdefghijklmnop9567]

my brother has a renault twingo 133 there alot faster than it looks on that it keeps up with a fiat 500 arbarth so ther nt slow : )

[kennard1991]

scared cause it hasnt got abs

[kennard1991]

.... he just drives like a fag in the 5 gt

[kennard1991]

this guy cant drive

[unheard128]

This guy is Jason Plato He was 2001 BTCC champion and has finished top 5 in the championship 10 times. He may not be the best driver in the world but he certainly can drive. haha fool

[Elektrycznyswiat]

Hehe dobre . . . tylko że to seria ... A jak z modyfikacjami ??? Głupie skasowanie jednej rurki w r5 zmieniło by postać rzeczy

[flighttime100]

I had a new '86 GTTurbo..and I smoked a 24v VW golf on the M1 @ 3am..he backed off @132mph..never had a problem with my turbo coming loose,and hot starts were fine,the manuel choke caught a few friends out but back then she turned some heads,my mate had a toyota supra turbo(new),and he said after he drove mine,the toyota was to be sold,really wish i had kept her.Reg D31OGB..metalic blue.

The only downfall was side slip with stone debris on slippery roads,Pirelli P600 195/R13 CupCake mags..sigh!

[sk8KevinA]

Okay twingo wins, but i love r5 gt turbo :D

[torresport46]

KuczPoland, sorry, I wanted to give a good comment, it was a mistake. RENAULT 5 IS FANTASTIC:)

[CountryPug]

such a great little car. The 205 gti is my fav hot hatch but purely because im a pug fanatic. I love to see an R5 GTT.

[ashpearse]

they are the definitive hot-hatch, the daddy. some consider the mk1 golf gti as the core hot hatch but the R5 GT-T far suppased it on handling, acceleration and fun, iv had a mk1 gti and now own a R5 and i love it, cant belive how much fun they are, the sound alone is awsome, winding up the revs and hearing it spool up thru the external wastegate is priceless :)

[WRC810]

Anyone that has driven a 5 GT won't forget the feeling.Times doesn't matter quality of plastics or anything else.

It's the fight you give to make a GT 5 go fast.

When you get off the car sweating and having a long smile on your face after a 10Km full of tight turns that feeling no car can give you.

A time when cars where communicating with you.You can't find that nowadays

[KuczPoland]

Renault 5 is fantasic

[helloman8994]

i like both renaults but i should take the 5 gt turbo it's light has no computers its light has a good engine but the twingo is two great fun if you come from work and want to go fast to home and its to good looking the twingo only most of aal i want them both

[cosmicrayturbo]

I ve still got my R5 GTT in a garage. It was mentaly quick and awesome fun. Broke down all the time though. Eventualy crashed it into a roundabout. It hasnt turned a wheel in anger in nearly ten years. I wont get rid of it though, it will always be mine.

[agentolshki]

i have a white j reg r5 turbo. lotsa fun though not what you would call refined. when he says 'weird tall rubber' the standard tyre size is a 195 55 13, the only car you will find those on. 64 quid each ive still got em on mine only one manufacturer (uniroyal) still makes em. give it a while and no-one will and ill be forced to put some 15'' white 5 spokes on.

[flighttime100]

Pirelli P600 195/R13's are still obtainable(I think)

[Jayexisle]

no i don't think so....maybe somthing comparable...sweet ride =)

[bananedude]

i had a r5 gtr my dad bought it for me

it was my first car and i crashed it against a tree

my dad had no idea of the power of the car when he bought it

after 3 weeks it was demolished :(

[nubbzy69]

not 4 shit bollox

[zoso11]

if have the R5 anyday, not a fan of all these clio sports and corsa vxrs etc etc. cant hold a candle to the glory days of R5's, XR2's etc.

[lupo0144]

all these people dont know shit!!!! had a R5 GTturbo in 94... fantastic car, quick as fuck! Broke down all the time lol... but worth it!!!! I do love the Twingo 133. Been in 1 and would pay the money for it. What does piss me off on youtube is the assholes who say.... you could get a M3 for the same cash! Ever had 2 run 1? I have.... dont even ask how much it cost 4 1yr!!!! thats the diffrence! 133 2run, cheap as chips!!! and as much fun!

[aaronmartin1987]

why waste money on that twingo.... its poo

[SaalbachSucks]

i dont understand why they dont put a turbo in the twingo!?!?!?

[showusurbeaver]

turbo's ruine drivablility

[martijntalma]

they did, it is the model under the 133.

It has a 1.2 turbo engine with around 100 bhp.

[SaalbachSucks]

No, its the Renault Sport version! i have the same car in red! the twingo gt has the 1.2 turbo engine!

[martijntalma]

that is what i said, man.

the model UNDER the twingo 133 is the twingo with the 1.2 turbo engine!!

[SaalbachSucks]

Ok, sorry! what i want to say is why they dont put a turbo in de twingo RS?!?

[martijntalma]

i think they (renault) wanted to ake an old school hot hatch.

U have to make a lot of revs to get actual power and work hard to make it go fast.

But i agree with you on putting a turbo on it.

Just a light pressure turbo wil do.

So that the power wil go up to like 160 bhp.

(p.s ben je nederlands?)

[Elektrycznyswiat]

.... DANGER ... CRAZY CAR ...

[Elektrycznyswiat]

hi hi hi R5GTTURBO !!!

[Mystify73]

was für ein dummer vergleich der hässliche Twingo wird nie an den R5 rankommen und auch nie so ein Kultauto werden!!

[090luca090]

r5 gt turbo 4 ever guys!!!!!!

[cocacolaholic]

i owned a pulsar gtir and my r5 gtt at the same time, and used my pulsar for a good while recently before selling it, i drove my r5 gtt for the 1st time in about a year today and my god its fun just driving along at 30mph, lovely cars!

[WillJPalmer]

a standard renault 5 is fukin vile and would never get one BUT.. would NEVER say no to a GTTurbo!!

[Jamerio3D]

I love the R5. The R5 has 195/55/13 wheels, that is a massive factor in the pouring rain.

And its 17 years old, I have owned some fast cars since my r5 turbo, BUT NOTHING ever made me as happy as that car. I love the 5 Turbo.

[pinho87]

R5 GT TURBO!

The mean machine!

I already drive one of them, and i dont have words to describe!

F*ucking amazing driving 230+++km/h

[rpw2003]

it should be a better car considering the age difference.but it will never be as raw & exciting as a 5 and there is no chance it is faster.fact!

[rubenvalente]

Can't you just see that the twingo is way better car then the renault 5 gt turbo, not talking about history, but about facts, the twingo is just faster, and i would prefer that beautifull 8000rvs na engine:)

[Electronlyman]

Give the GTT proper modern tires and it would smash the twingo easy.

[djdrastic1]

Technology has moved on , but Lord that 5 looks awesomely brutal.

[UBIQUEROL]

Twingo 133 cup = piece of shit

Renault 5 Turbo anyday

[RenaultSport133]

Did u even try it?!

The car is great its got N/A screamin engine great suspension and brakes.U should stfu if u dont know what are u talkin about

[UBIQUEROL]

you should piss off and get a real car

[RenaultSport133]

A real car?WTF? Cmon prick...If u think that Twingo isnt a real car dn what is?R5 gt is a great car i admit but i doesnt stand a chance in any way against RS133.And yes i know that ur SUV is faster on the highway.

[leturbo5GT]

what are you sure about that honestley tbh they are nothing major if i seen one on the road id be straight for the test!

racing a renault 5 in the wet is just silly `i know ` plus the radier was not jasons and the 133 is a demo car hmmm which one would u give death???

its funny that........they did not mention the 0-60 in the advert as well hmmmmmm wonder why.????

try renault 5 full power vrs renault megan stock rs give that a type ;) lol

[Tefang2]

LOL he said 3k for one lol i am buy one for 500 pounds soon ahahahaha

[stitcha123]

lol it will be a bag of shit

[mats5]

rather have my 5 gt turbo thanks

[vikkiandbradley07]

think id ratehr hav my 5 to, mainly becasie its 20 years younger but only 13bhp more and wow 2 seconds on a lap, still thats stock 8psi r5 try screwing in the acuter to get 14 psi, or more if you have better gaskets

[WRC810]

This test environment isn't right for these cars,test them on mountain roads on tight and sequential hairpins and you'll see the KING

[WRC810]

You are so RIGHT about that :)

[FENTINATOR15]

renault 5 GT turbo:what a wonderful car!!

[minismithy90]

its good to see an old hot hatch they should do more tests like this

[wadeuss]

Put a decent set of wheels on the 5 and good night Twingo.

[HDHome]

Fantastic test, 2 really nice cars

luv this vid

greets from germany

[furballmotors]

I didnt fancy taking my rear wheel drive car to work yesterday in the Snow, so I jumped in my trusty Renault 5 and fired her up... So much fun to drive even in the snow :)

5 years I've owned it and even though I have my new car, I just havn't been able to bring myself to sell the renault!

[flowmap]

We want that renault starts e new production/restiling of the fantastic 5 gt turbo!!!

It's one of the best car of ranult production

Twingo is for the today woman to do shopping in the city traffic ;-)

[muddymoto]

Some how i dont really think the twingo will have the cult status of the reno 5, i loved my 5, id sell a kidney to get my hands on a mint R5 gtt

[elperyz8]

Unas llantas y suspension al Turbo y el Twingo a trgar polVo...

[javiblg]

what is the song in 1.48?¿

thanks

[turbodizelbenzinac]

Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl

[mantadaveo]

That 5 gt whould of killed it on a 0 TO 60 why did they not do that test the fucking wankers ?

[derbigpr500]

Because 0-60 is pointless.

[furballmotors]

Just some skinnier profile/decent rubber and it would match it I think. The standard uniroyals are well known for being shocking in the wet. I know mine was until I put some 45 profile toyo's on.

[zomgwtfbbqffs]

Spend 10k on a £1000 R5GTT then see.

[871898689]

ça c'était de la caisse, pas comme les mini cooper S de pédés
