Sun International used to bring these into the country. Unfortunately, their website hasn’t been updated for like 10 years. I remember reading it before and looking into these cars… And nothing has changed since then. Check the page! [http://www.suninternational-usa.com/renault.html](http://www.suninternational-usa.com/renault.html) Here’s a cool article on the R5s… Cool fact: They run metric sized wheels. Don’t count on finding tires at Tire Rack. [http://www.modified.com/features/0308scc\_renault\_r5\_turbo\_2/index.html](http://www.modified.com/features/0308scc_renault_r5_turbo_2/index.html) ---

the R5 Turbo is hard to find because it wasnt imported here. though a few have come over grey market. one i know of is in the seattle area. registered and driven on the roads from time to time.
