In 1985, the GT Turbo (115 ch) version of the 2nd-gen 1984 Renault 5, aka Super 5, was launched. Renault’s turbos were renowned, after its Formula 1 and R5 Maxi Turbo. When the Supercinq was restyled in mid-1987, the power of the GT Turbo increased by 5 hp and the front grille was updated. The fender flares, previously grey, became body-coloured. The model here had not been restyled yet.
