The TURBO decade
The TURBO craze was a phase in the ‘80s which infused everyday road cars with the magical powers of race cars. From hot-hatches to world-beating supercars, ‘Turbo Everything’ was a phrase coined in the industry.
For the moto-headed school kids of the era, it was the buzzword to draw your attention.
With the demand for fuel economy and the uprise in development of smaller engines, turbocharging was the metaphorical elixir for squeezing extra horsepower from the engine. The striking letters of the TURBO logo embossed across the exterior of the car sold itself – in fact, many car manufacturers sold the infamous badging, but not the associated turbocharging.
From choices in materials, styling and shape, the TURBO Collection is designed to mimic this retro-cool era of car design.

A boxy design for an ‘out-of-the-box’ car
In shape, turbo cars showcased a boxy silhouette and were characterized by their straight cut and rounded edges.
With a bold and charismatic presence, the boxy design, with simple body panel bends, streamlined manufacturing and gave rise to flat, unadorned wheel wells.
The 80s Love Affair with Plastic
The 80s were a decade when plastic was fantastic – a versatile and cost-effective material that was easy to mold and cast.
Car manufacturers embraced its potential, using it to craft impact-resistant components such as bumpers and fenders.
Retro Hues, Modern Twist
In the styling of 80s Turbo cars, hood scoops and rear window louvers were popular, both in factory-standard models and custom modifications.
Combined with strking, unapologetic color schemes, Turbo-badging, and racing stripes, these cars stole the show and dominated the automotive landscape from their malaise-era counterparts.
Splitit installment payments at 0 % interest: How does it work exactly?
Splitit allows you to split the total payment over a maximum of twelve months using your credit card. This service is free, involves no credit checks or applications, and means you can choose to split your payment into monthly installments.
To use this payment method all you need a credit card with a sufficient amount of available credit. Splitit authorizes the total order value—but don’t worry, this is not taken in full when you complete the purchase. At the time of shipping, only the first installment will be charged to your credit card. The remaining balance will be held on your credit card until the final payment has been made. However, a payment authorization for the outstanding amount of your purchase will be held during the full payment period.
After each monthly payment, the amount held from your available balance will be reduced to the new remaining balance (the held amount might appear as “pending”). To ensure that the authorization of your credit card is valid for the entire payment period, the authorization will be renewed every 21 days.
Are there any extra fees involved?
No, this is an interest-free payment method with no additional fixed fees, service fees, interest, or hidden fees of any kind.
Which credit cards does Splitit support?
You can pay using Splitit with a Mastercard or Visa card. Debit cards, American Express and pre-paid cards are not accepted.
Do I have to maintain the required available credit amount on my credit card?
Yes, you must maintain a sufficient amount on your credit card for both the monthly payment and for the full outstanding amount of your purchase during the full period of the plan. The authorized amount will be charged only in the event that a monthly payment is declined (the authorization hold might appear as “pending” on your credit card bill).
What happens if I return the product?
If you decide to not keep the ordered item(s), upon return of the items we will reimburse the installments that have already been paid and cancel the outstanding payments.
When and where can I choose the number of installments for my payment plan?
Installment payments with Splitit can be chosen as a payment option during the checkout process. Here, you can choose the number of installments in your payment plan and view the monthly payment amounts.
