The seller hereby offers a 1984 Renault 5 Gordini. This 3-door hatchback is built with Alpine parts, including an Alpine naturally aspirated engine, the suspension of an Alpine Turbo, original Alpine Turbo wheels, and adjustable GAZ suspension for improved driving characteristics. The car is equipped with a manual 5-speed gearbox and has only driven 85,000 km, with documentation to verify.
The bodywork is in good condition, with only a few small dents and signs of use. The paint is still the first original paint and retains an authentic look.
Under the floor mats and on the floor, the car shows itself in remarkably neat condition. The sports interior is equipped with König bucket seats, while the other interior elements correspond to those of an original R5 Alpine Turbo. The whole looks neat and complete.
Technically, this Renault is in good condition. The lights and indicators are also working, and the car has a valid inspection. The car does not have power steering or other technical upgrades outside of the sporty adjustments already mentioned.
The Renault 5 was launched in 1972 and quickly became one of the most popular compact cars in Europe. The car was designed with a focus on practicality and modern lines, with Renault responding to the changing mobility needs of the 1970s. The sports versions, including the Alpine and Gordini, offered sharper driving dynamics and formed a bridge between the everyday city car and the sports segment.
The Gordini version was initially known as the sports version in France, while in the United Kingdom this name was used instead of Alpine for brand rights. The Alpine versions were given a heavier engine, modified suspension, and often special interior features that increased driving pleasure. The Turbo models were a direct competitor to the fast versions from brands such as Fiat, Volkswagen and Peugeot in the 1980s.
Thanks to its light weight and lively engine, the R5 with Alpine equipment is still popular today with fans of classic French hot hatches. Models that have been technically revised but remain visually close to the original, such as this example, are particularly appreciated for their balance between driving pleasure, simplicity and character. Thanks to its history, original parts and technical upgrades, this Renault offers a fascinating mix of authenticity and sportiness.
