I'll check my books later and get the definitive answer !!!

If RENAULT can't get it right then who can ?????

Here's an interesting knowledge battle . In normal conditions I'd nominate you as an instant winner. But I love this car, and what I've read about it is different from the data of that site.

In my book Rally Cars (Konemman) written by David Williams, john Davenport and Colin McMaster with Richard Klein's amazing photo's, it's written: 1527cc with 350bhp. It also says that it is an evolution from the 1397cc 5 Turbo. They went further with the engine capacity because the 1397 engine was built to run amongst Group 4. When Group B regs came, the car was a bit limited to compete with newcomers.
