In this Petrolicious video, we follow the exhilarating journey of Juan Carlos Fernandez as he takes the wheel of a rare gem - the 1984 Renault R5 Maxi Turbo. This turbocharged beast, born from Renault's foray into rally racing in the 80s, boasts a unique design with a rear engine layout, enhanced suspension, and brakes that scream performance. Fernandez, a man with a passion for cars that goes beyond mere speed, finds sheer joy in the distinctive appearance of the Renault, from its imposing wing to its rally-inspired transmission.
Acquiring this rally car unseen, Fernandez faced challenges with the engine and clutch, but with expert intervention, he transformed the Renault into a roaring machine. The 1.5L motor, with its explosive power delivery after 3,000 RPM, offers a driving experience that harks back to the golden era of rally racing. For Fernandez, who migrated from Cuba to Puerto Rico as a child, his journey to owning an auto dealership is a testament to hard work and unwavering values instilled by his parents.
Through his dealership, FCO Motors, Fernandez imparts the wisdom that success stems from surrounding oneself with the right people and upholding integrity in all endeavors. His story serves as a reminder that true fulfillment comes not just from material possessions, but from the sweat, toil, and dedication poured into every endeavor. The Renault R5 Maxi Turbo stands not just as a symbol of speed and power, but as a testament to Fernandez's relentless pursuit of excellence and his unyielding passion for the world of automobiles.
