The Renault 5 is a five-passenger, three or five-door, front-engine, front-wheel drive hatchback supermini manufactured over two generations 1972–1985 (also called R5) and 1984–1996 (also called Super 5 or Supercinq). The Renault 5 became the best-selling car in France from 1972 until 1986, with a total production of over 5.5 million during its fourteen year production run. The Renault 5 was styled by Michel Boué, it was launched in early 1972, with the right hand drive version from Autumn 1972.

 

In 1982 Renault replaced the sporting 5 Gordini for the turbocharged 5 Gordini Turbo, with a Garrett T3 turbocharger boosting the existing 1397cc engine to 110bhp. The chassis was altered to handle the increase of power and the alloy wheels were wider. Sales continued until 1984 when the second generation Renault 5 was launched, and the release of the Renault 5 GT Turbo in 1985.

 

In Spring 1984 the 5 Gordini Turbo was renamed 5 Le Car 2 Turbo with a slightly more basic spec.
