The Renault RE-20 Turbo has won three F1 Grand Prix races in the 1980 season, demonstrating the great potential of a turbo engine. In 1977, Renault developed the first F1 machine RS-01 equipped with a turbo engine and started the challenge of the Grand Prix race.
In 1979, the engine was made into a twin turbo and evolved into the RS-10 that adopted the mechanism of the ground effect car, and recorded the first victory of the turbo F1. The RE-20 turbo is a further improvement of this RS-10, and the fighting power has been further enhanced, especially by succeeding in reducing the weight by nearly 30 kg. The engine is a 1.5-liter V-6 DOHC equipped with two turbochargers.
By regulation, it produces about 520 horsepower and top-class output while having half the displacement of a naturally aspirated engine. The car body is finished in a typical ground effect car with side pontoons with a reverse wing cross section on both sides of the slender center monocoque. With the success of the RE-20, which won three wins, many turbo F1s will appear after that, and the Grand Prix race will enter the turbo era.
