Italeri 1/12 Renault Re 20 Turbo Model Kit

The Renault RE 20 was the car that proved turbocharging could win in Formula 1, its 1.5-liter V6 turbo producing over 520 HP — far more than the normally aspirated 3.0-liter engines of its rivals. After years of development (and the nickname "Yellow Teapot" for its reliability issues), the RE 20 delivered Renault's first constructors' points and victories in 1980, driven by René Arnoux and Jean-Pierre Jabouille. Renault's turbocharged revolution would eventually force every F1 team to adopt turbo power. This 1/12 Italeri kit reveals the pioneering turbo V6 in extraordinary detail.
