No, you're not dreaming.
The Renault 5 will be reborn.
It is the emblem of the “Renaulution”, the strategic plan presented last Thursday by Luca de Meo, the CEO of the diamond firm.

"It evokes as much the car of 1972 as the dazzling Turbo version of 1980 and the Supercinq of 1984"

The 21st century R5 memorized shape but changed size.
More so mini than that, the new model measures almost 50 centimeters more than its ancestor (3.96 meters) and takes ease in width (2.03 meters), mimicking the Turbo with its fender wideners.
