The Wolf WR5 was a Formula One racing car built for the 1978 Formula One season by the Walter Wolf Racing team. A further example of the model was built, and was given the chassis number WR6. They replaced the successful Wolf WR1 halfway through the 1978 season, trying to challenge the new ground effect Lotus 78. However, Wolf was unable to repeat their competitive performance of 1977, taking just three podium finishes with the WR5/6.
