I thought the R-5 was a super "Le Car" on steroids.  (turbo, different
suspension, wild body flares, etc.).  Saw a couple at a race at Laguna Seca
years ago - real screamers as I recall.  (It was funny seeing a "Le Car" go
140 MPH around a track...   :-)

Stupid a name sounding "Le Car" may be. But that name finally got Americans
buying a car which they seemed to refuse to buy when it was called a Renault
R-5.
