A performance-oriented electric hatch
Renault has revived the spirit of the legendary Turbo with an ultra-modern electric powertrain. The Renault 5 Turbo 3E boasts two electric motors delivering a combined 540 HP, launching it from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds. It retains the unmistakable aggressive stance of the original, featuring a wide-body carbon fiber chassis that ensures agility and performance.
To emphasize its exclusivity, Renault is limiting production to just 1,980 numbered units, making it a highly desirable collector’s item.
The Renault 5 Turbo 3E isn’t just a nostalgic throwback—it’s a high-performance machine designed for the modern era. It enters a new segment of electric sports cars, competing with models from premium manufacturers. With its custom-built platform, the car maintains a compact yet aggressive design, reminiscent of its rally roots.
This new model joins the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric, a practical city car, and the Alpine A290, a sportier electric variant, mirroring Renault’s strategy in the 1980s with the Renault 5, Renault 5 Alpine, and Renault 5 Turbo.
