The Renault R5 Alpine Rally earned a reputation for nimble handling and strong results in the late 1970s. Italeri's 1/24 scale kit recreates that spirit, offering accurate body lines and interior cues for hobbyists and collectors. Developed by Renault for the 1977 season, the car featured a 150 horsepower engine and weighed around 800 kg, with notable runs at Sanremo, Monte Carlo and the Acropolis.
This kit delivers a satisfying build with many small parts that reward careful assembly. Decals are included for authentic livery work, and the finished model makes a compact display piece alongside other classic rally cars.
The R5 Alpine Rally stood out on the late 70s rally circuit thanks to its balance of power and light weight. This Italeri release lets model makers explore that era through hands-on construction and paintwork.
