[urq] Fantasy garage

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Nope.  Renault R5 turbo version #1 of 1980-81.  Still mid-engined Rear wheel
drive with aluminum hood, and of which 200 or so were produced so that the
rally version could compete (just the like SportQ) :-)  Version #2 was
cheaper but with the same level of performance -- neither of which was sold
in the US.  Funny, it also had 160 hp stock -- sound familiar? ;-)  Anyhow,
either would do...
