I'm French and it's reealy weird to listen Americans talk about a French car, a really good French car. Thank you
It's my favorite car, brother. It is a fuckin rocket! 💥💨💨💨
French cars are usually fucking trash but this one gets a pass.
@@tony_5156 Enzo Ferrari drove one as his personal car at one point. Along with quite a few other French cars, mind you
@@tony_5156 that's actually not true, a lot of Germans and English people like our cars, especially our little hot hactch FWD that are on top of the world
Kayzen L7 ou really ehehehe I hear about Peugeot it Renault from jermey Clarkson it’s always about the car being made by the devil, the most boring poorly made thing.
that French kid in the back seat with its mustage was just perfect.
I bave to uze le bathroom mothheer, pls can ve stop to buy some cigaareyytes!

I love these cars. My dad owned a Renault garage and had a 5 turbo putting out 260bhp in the early 90's such a cool car.
Please do up to speed on Alpina
Would be cool to see that!
YES! :)
Alpine as well.
*The Renault 5 Turbo is secretly an alpine a110 don't tell this to anyone, omg he has airpods he can't hear u-*

The 1979 1.4 8 valve OHV naturally aspirated engine in the R5 Gordini had a higher specific output than a modern day Chevrolet LS2. Thats pretty impressive considering the similarities. The head was actually a Hemi-design. Meanwhile in the states, the 1979 Camaro Z28 got less than half the specific output from its csb.
@Trina Mcdervish Well the regulations were the european standards of the 70s and US had their standards during the 70s, getting 65,7hp/l in the 70s from a 2v OHV engine is quiet good no matter the comparison. Its more than the 450hp ´70 Chevelle LS6 could bring out before all the smog crap of the 70s.
Panhard invented the Hemi design
Dodge copied it 💅🏽
@@apashe974 Hemispherical combustion chambers had been in use for over 50 years already before the Chrysler Corporation got around to it.
You guys could make a monthly special episode of "Up to Speed" based on people's choice, via the TH-cam Community. You would give us some options of "unusual" cars (at least for the US market) and the most voted would end up on a video - maybe a two-round election, I don't know...
Good idea. I hope Donut sees this...
PLEASE DONUT PIN THIS
Comment reported.
Indeed.
Could you do the Peugeot 205 T16. Gotta love the group B cars👌
I'm french, this video is the best i've ever saw. You are a legend mate
How's yellow vest?
@Yo Ming I am Algerian and I don't give a shit if you are too
fuck you
Great video 👍
I actually used to own four of the R5 Turbo 2’s😎 Three of them( 2 Red & a Silver) had 3 piece Gotti wheels & upgraded inter coolers to make 185hp. My favorite one (Black) was very modified...aluminum doors & roof, (100 kilos lighter), Momo steering wheel, 3 piece Gotti wheels, Sparco seats & harness , Devil exhaust, cam, bored & stroked to 1480cc, adjustable turbo.....250 hp at the wheels & 1,800 lbs....Le Rocket 🚀 🔥 I used to embarrass a lot of Porsche’s, Ferrari’s, and Lamborghini’s back in the day! From 20-120 mph it was hard to beat.
I love your videos mannn, it’s the small details that kill me I’ve got mad appreciation for them! Whoever is behind editing, unreal job :)
“Please can we stop and get cigarettes” XD
lmao
I was crying 😭
As a french guy iam laughing as f

Do the Vauxhall Lotus Carlton
And the Awesome story in Britain that the car had.
40 RA intensifies
opel*
@@sealand9049 its Vauxhall Lotus Carlton in Britain and Lotus Omega for the rest of europe if im correct.
@@phil_zupra_b5880 You are right. Either way, it's a beautiful car.
as a French Bilingual car enthusiast THANK YOU IM LOVING IT
My dream car is a Renault 5 Turbo Gordini.
Screw owning a Lamborghini for a dream car, I want a Gordini!
If you can find one they're pretty much half the price of a Lamborghini.
Lamborghini went downhill after the Miura, always the same design..
@@pikminologueraisin2139 most supercars use a similar setup as the muria
I don't know if you do or don't but too many people confuse the Turbo 1 and 2 with the Gordini
The clutch is the same, on the Diablo barely fixed versions.
Please do an episode on the Peugeot 205 rally!
And the Peugeot 908 le Mans
106 too!
306 kit car
205 t16!!!
Clio V6
Another rally Legend. Cant be mad at it.
I love you man... as a plucky Canadian, and of the few that loved the 5... I am soooo happy to see this video! the R5 turbo is a dream car for me!
The R4 was a super popular car here in Colombia. Pablo Escobar use to race it before becoming a drug lord
🤫 were all going to be drug lord to pay for our addiction to speed and wreckless driving
And used 3 to start his drug business
He really raced a 4L? (the R4 is called 4L in France)
Hyaki Kazuto Is your dads name Pablo?
@@dodowdr3 there were race leagues of that car until the early 2000s, there are a lot of shops to get refactions for r4s to this days, and probably every person older than 25 was in a moment of their life inside a r4
Surprised I didn't talk about the clio V6 (or altleast mentioned it)
And with that being said, Up to speed on the Clio or should I say the Lutecia in the land of the rising sun
@@kaitospence18 and the Clio V6 engine is from the Laguna V6
Clio RS Clio Williams
Yes! , damn that's a sweet car
They managed to talk about small trucks in the USA multiple times and somehow not mention 3 generations of dodge dakota
5:45 wanna know what else only has 2 valves per cylinder and doesn't even have overhead cams?
2019 NASCAR engines
Come on! NASCAR engines keeps evolving! They switched from carburetors to fuel injection in 2012. That's only 20 years after the last carbureted US road car went out of production. The Renault 5 Turbo had fuel injection, a 5-speed gearbox and a turbo. Wanna know what still never had a fifth gear or a turbo ?
@@malolavoue4717 a daewoo tico
All of Corvettes?
wanna know whats a irrelevant and dying sport.... 2020 NASCAR

Excellent! Well done guys!!! Keep up the good work!!

You can speak about its little sister, the clio v6 !
Brother also v6 clio is now 17 year's old
The whole crew involved killed this video. 👏🏻 We commend you & want more videos like these. I’d like to request the history of each championship winning group B rally cars in the ‘80s.
Awesome story on a unique, off brand, boutique car that has such a great story. Hugh props for all the legwork for a story many won’t appreciate...but those that know...HELLA enjoy this episode!
*Up to Speed - Ford RS200*
I'm french and listening to him trying to pronounce words and names is hilarious 😂👍
Cet épisode m'a fait bien marrer :)
yeah cuz' ur language is fuuuucked
A reasonable amount of the fun is watching him butchering the different languages while trying to pronounce the names. Lol
@@Miimimedia and I see english as a "fuuuucked" language too :)
COVID 19 binge watching this channel all day.
At my brothers appartement parking garage there is a Renault 5 turbo fully build and with rollcage, parked.
It has such a thick layer of dust on it, it looks like a sepia picture. And it has multiple dust layers on the windows, of people wiping the dust to get a look see inside. For such a small car it has a pretty impressive appearance. I can only imagine hearing it run, probably awe inspiring.
CLIO V6
one of the most underrated cars
@@Evan-ef3ol not in europe
Clio Sport Trophy
V6 was a poor design . But yes very fast!
Yes
Up to speed on Peugeot 205. Would be interesting. That one was also an iconic rally car.
Donut is the channel I’ve been looking for love it I binge for hours
Laughed out loud at the Metal Gear Solid explanation mark.
I missed the Clio V6 from this episode. Such as a succesor of the Renault 5 Turbo (RWD)
Ford escort cosworth next!
I think the CRX will be next...
Yeah probably
Thank you
Informative.
Excellent presentation

Legacy!
Thanks for your support! We appreciate you
Legacy ❤️
How does a car TH-cam channel change your life?
@@surgeonso4345, it has helped me develop a new hobby and an interest in a potential career.
Ahh the Renault 5 Turbo. The amazing car for the money that we can't get here in the US :(
They're not cheap btw
Not cheap at all, but you can get them since they are older than 25 years. If you have 50k to buy one, 3-5k for importing is shouldnt be a problem.
Amazing for the money ? It cost 90.000$ xD
Group B cars
Cheap
Chose one.
Whoever told you you can't buy one was wrong.
I'm french, and there's one R5 turbo in the town 5 km away from home.
Some times I see it when I go buy groceries there, but I mostly hear it before I see it lmao
love you donut!!
group c racing and suzuki escudo dirt trial car please
They Live We See Someone likes Gran Turismo, huh?
@@drazenbudis7881 gran turismo is life, well up until gt sport
Yes 👌👌👌👌👌
Yeah.. I love g13b..
Group A touring cars too
Renault 5 Maxi TURBO!!!
There are no bad up to speed videos.
But this one may be the best. I have always known this vehicle existed - but never knew anything about the history.
This is by far the funniest video you’ve done 😂 I don’t know why I didn’t watch this when it came out
An American pronouncing Renault correctly, so proud
FINALLY.. a non-N.American car video
"Lumpy squarish bunny" that's right, lol.
You've got to make a Charger episode!
Thank you for making a show with such informative info. I have learned quite bit since I started watching Donut Media. Keep up your hard work donut team!
Do the metro rally car next please 🙏
OUI LA RENAULT 5 TURBO !!! JE VALIDE !!
Oui, les français !
Ouiiiii
Baguette croissant Petit pain hon hon
Thx for a nice video
Renault 5 was allways on my wishlist but I never got to buy one for myself...tnx for making this episode
Make an Up to Speed on kei-cars
You should do an up to speed on the firebird or trans am
Bandit style.
LOVIN' IT.!!!!!!!!.
And yes,on of the coolest cars EVER !!!!
@James Humphrey, dude you're the best, coolest, funniest Car commentator (scuzy if you prefer a different title) since the lad from across the pond Jeremy Clarkson, Id even go ahead and say you've surpassed him. In addition whoever edits these videos is a genius , the manage to blend historic information with comedy in seamless fashion, and all the characters in your show are hilarious to say the least. In this video at least I lost it with the little french kid in the backseat lmao. All in all man, I'm happy to have come across you guys, you guys make my day, whenever I'm not studying I go and check you tube for your episodes. Thank you so much for bringing a bit of comedy and History over to the car community I love so much, and may you continue to make successful videos. and James may you continue to rate them "buff horses" forever! peace out.
up to speed - Citroën World Rally Team
Do the Renault alpine Please !!!!
Totally agree I am waiting for it since... to long
It's not Renault, it's Alpine and Alpine made more interesting models than the A110 such as the A310, GTA and A610.
Alpine is actually from renault
They have a great rally history like the a310 calberson
@@vincentpossemiers7690 I know, but they were still called Alpine when they produced the A110, then the GTA became a Renault but the final GTA models were special metallic blue called LeMans which had the Alpine logo
You guys should do an Up to Speed on TVR!! :D
thanks funny guy, it was about time. finally
Such a great little car
Agreed!
*_TALKIN' 'BOUT PORRIDGE BABY! TALKIN' 'BOUT PORRIDGE & BEDS TOO SOFT TOO HOT!!!_*
It really do be like dat sometimes...
I've raced an 89 black R5 GT Turbo in my town, they look very distinctive, was cool to see
lil’ james is sooooo good i love him
Moa POWA Babyy
Peugeot 205 t16 next please.
I love the wide body kit looks great
The Renault 5 Copa Turbo was my childhood dream car, just simply a master piece.
Ok it’s time everything you need to know to get up to speed on
Honda Accord
Not a bad idea!
Dont forget about the odessy
When I watched the first episode of dragon ball I was like, wait a fookin second is that a Renault 5 turbo?
Dude imma comment on every single vid that pops up until you make one. You know its the OG cross over, the Isuse Amigo
These guys need their own TV show. They make learning about cars fun!
We have a I5 Volvo and i love it
@Play3rgg my friend used to own a 850 volvo
A Volvo i5 at 7k rpm is one of the few heavens we still have in Sweden.
The Renault Safrane also had a I5 from Volvo when Renault attempted to make a alliance with Volvo in the mid 90s
Do the Cizeta V16T. It has a very fascinating story.
I agree
No
Read of it's history in Gran Turismo. ;) And yes it's amazing how they came to the idea of taking 2 Lamborghini Urraco V8s to make the V16. Still underrated soz.
Bought a Turbo II in 1986. Most fun I've ever had in a car
I'm glad you guys decided to turn a bit on our french cars :D
Sweet episode :p
If you start to dab into French hot hatch rally legends, it'd be awesome to have an episode on the 205 T16.
Absolutely love how you make fun of the french XD
Great video!
BTW I’d love to see an Up To Speed episode on the Ford Puma. It’s an awesome car!
Dude!! Not only very informative but holy shit.... hilarious!! Well done! I really love the videos you guys make!
Renault 5 turbo and Renault Clio V6 are cars I wish we had in america
Do one on the Uno turbo,the R5's street rival.
James, you are what America Top Gear needed.
OMG I was waiting so much for this episode about this car! Thank you so much Donut Media! BTW I have a regular R5 83´ sit in the garage! I dont have money to buy the friggin tires!
