Early cars made 105 bhp while the later models gained another 10 ponies. Weight was only 915 kg so performance was pretty brisk, between 8 & 9 seconds to 60 depending on the model and year.
The Group A Turbo predictably gained a good chunk of more power. Renault Sport at the time suggested around 185 bhp although seemingly this was more like 220 bhp in reality.
Although the cars proved fast on tarmac with some pretty strong finishes, they were never fully able to compete with the Sierra Cosworths and Lancia Delta HF 4WDs. Reliability was never a strong point for Renault Sport either.
