About the Renault 5 Turbo J. Ragnotti + Renault 30 Assistance 1979 Otto 1:18
TL;DR: Otto's 1:18 resin set reproduces J. Ragnotti's Renault 5 Turbo rally car alongside its Renault 30 assistance vehicle from 1979, both cast as sealed, one-piece bodies. The models arrive new with new packaging. A paired rally-and-support display piece from the dawn of the Group B era.
The Renault 5 Turbo announced a new era of homologation specials built specifically to dominate rally stages, and pairing it with its period assistance car tells a fuller competition story than the rally car alone.
Resin Casting Across Two Sealed Bodies
Cast resin holds the Renault 5 Turbo's boxy, flared silhouette with sharp edges along its distinctive rear-mounted engine bulges, detail a pressed die would round off. Both bodies in this set are sealed, so the presentation rests entirely on exterior finish: the rally car's aggressive wheel-arch flares and roof-mounted lighting, and the Renault 30's more conventional executive-sedan lines pressed into service as a support vehicle. Livery graphics and sponsor decals are applied with fine registration across both castings, and paint depth under direct light shows consistent quality between the two very different body shapes.
A Complete Rally Story for the Shelf
Period rally programs relied on dedicated assistance vehicles to carry spares, tools, and mechanics between stages, and including the Renault 30 alongside the 5 Turbo gives a collector the full operational picture rather than just the glamorous competition car. Arriving new and unhandled, this pairing captures the Renault 5 Turbo at a pivotal early moment in the rally car's competition history, before the more extreme Group B machinery that followed. At 1:18 the contrast between the compact, flared 5 Turbo and the longer, conventional Renault 30 makes for a genuinely interesting display pairing, and the set works well as a standalone story or as part of a broader French rally chronology.
