The Renault RE20 was a Formula One car raced by the Renault team in the 1980 season, designed by François Castaing and Michel Têtu using ground effect aerodynamics. It was powered by the 1.5-litre turbocharged Renault Gordini EF1 engine, which by 1981 produced a reported 520 bhp, roughly 50 more than the 3.0-litre Cosworth DFV V8 still in wide use, although Renault's power lagged behind the new turbocharged engine of Ferrari. The driving lineup of the all French team was entirely French, with Jean-Pierre Jabouille and René Arnoux driving in 1980 and a young Alain Prost replacing Jabouille in 1981. The car achieved three Grand Prix wins in 1980: Arnoux won the Brazilian and South African races and Jabouille won the Austrian Grand Prix. A modified RE20B raced in the first five races of 1981 before the Renault RE30 replaced it.
