In 1984, Renault 5 ended its career and was succeeded by Supercinq, more spacious and better equipped. Supercinq rose to the challenge, in turn becoming the top-selling car in France between 1986 and 1989. A sporty version - Supercinq GT Turbo - was launched just 4 months after the launch of the classic version.
