1990 RENAULT Supercinq GT TURBO Alain Oreille Rare version Alain Oreille Preserved copy Dynamic behaviour French registration Chassis n° VF1C4050502395220 Faced with the success of the GTI versions of Peugeot and Volkswagen, which at the time were in fierce competition, Renault launched the R5 Alpine in 1976 which, despite its many assets, did not manage to prove itself to be the equal of its rivals.
