The Renault 5 Turbo or R5 Turbo was a sport hatchback automobile launched by the French manufacturer Renault at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1980. The car was primarily designed for rallying, but was also sold in a street version. At the time of its launch it was the most powerful production French car. This is the fictional R version, based on the R5 Maxi Turbo Superproduction which won the French Supertouring Championship in 1984.

This fantastic sports car was built in response to Lancia's rallying success with the mid-engined Stratos, Renault's Jean Terramorsi, vice-president of production came up with the idea of creating a new sports version of the Renault 5 Alpine supermini. The distinctive new rear bodywork was styled by Marc Deschamps at Bertone, headed by Chief Designer Marcello Gandini. A Renault 5 Alpine was sent to Bertone in October 1977 to be used as a "mannequin." The car's code name was Projet 822.

Driven by Jean Ragnotti in 1981, the 5 Turbo won the Monte Carlo Rally on its first outing in the World Rally Championship.

In 2004, Sports Car International named the R5 Turbo number nine on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1980s.
