In 1978 FASA, the Spanish branch of Renault, proposed a particular version of the R5, called "Copa". It was a simplified Alpine, intended to be used for the R5 one-make championships. The "Copa" could be recognized by the matt black bonnet and the different rims compared to those of the standard R5 Alpine: rims similar to those of the GTL version but wider were mounted on some specimens, while on others rims made their appearance. 6 races. The seats were those of the R5 TL.
