A version of this car competed in Argentina's premier motorsport championship – Turismo Carretera – beginning in 1967, winning four titles in its first five seasons.
Following the discontinuation of vehicle production in 1982 and technical restrictions imposed on both the Torino and the Dodge GTX in 1989, its use declined until the ACTC allowed the fitment of the AMC XJ "Cherokee" engine in 1995 – thereafter becoming a popular alternative to the Ford and Chevrolet counterparts, and resulting in the first title for the brand in 51 years through José Manuel Urcera in 2022.
[3] For 2024, the ACTC introduced new models based on American pony cars from the existing manufacturers as well as a facelift to the recently-introduced Toyota Camry.
[4] As no modern version of an IKA/Renault exists, the ACTC allowed for a 'concept' Torino based on the original car of the 1960s and 70s to be built and raced.
[1] Trotta Racing Team (Renault Argentina's affiliated team in Turismo Carretera) were tasked with building the first cars from scratch, and were forced to make some alterations to the design from a practical standpoint – including using the roof from a Toyota Corolla, albeit modified.
