  Renault 5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Renault 5 was a supermini produced by the French manufacturer Renault in two generations between 1972 and 1996.
The original 5 was Renault's first foray into the supermini market, and its most prominent feature was its styling by Michel Boue (who died before the car's release), which included the steeply sloping rear hatchback, and front end.
The Renault 5 GTX was another but rarer high-performance model, using the 106bhp 1.7 litre engine taken from the Renault 19 (while this was fourteen less bhp than the Turbo, the GTX produced higher torque).

The Renault 5 Turbo became one of Renault’s most celebrated rally winners when, in the hands of Jean Ragnotti, it won the Monte Carlo in 1981 – only the car’s fourth event.
The victory was very much against the odds for the four-wheel-drive opposition, particularly the Audis, had been expected to excel in the icy conditions.
The 1.4-litre, mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive, five-speed 5 Turbo was actually the culmination of a four-year project, codenamed ‘822’, to produce a successor to the 8 Gordinis and Alpine A110s.
