Renault 5 Turbo 3E - Revelation by Luca de Meo - video Dailymotion

AutoMotions

The documentary reveals a little more about the future production model. A modern take on Renault 5 Turbo and Turbo 2, Renault 5 Turbo 3E was revealed by the show car of the same name at the 2022 Paris Motor Show (link to CP). Packed with performance and exuberance, it makes many nods to the world of motorsports. With the looks and livery of a car built for the track, it sports the historic colours of one of the rallying versions of the early 1980s. Renault 5 Turbo 3E is an all-electric hot hatch of retro-futuristic design, with an eminently modern charging socket in one of the rear air intakes, bringing to mind the styling of the original 'Turbo'. The carbon superstructure is both lightweight and extremely stiff, two qualities that are fundamental for a ‘pocket rocket’ worthy of its name and heritage.  Like its iconic predecessor, Renault 5 Turbo 3E will have a rear-wheel drive layout. The two electric motors housed in the rear wheels will deliver instant power to each wheel, for total output of more than 500 bhp. Behind the wheel, drivers will experience ultimate driving thrills with lightning acceleration. Renault 5 Turbo 3E will sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, a performance worthy of a supercar or even a hypercar. The Group is bringing the best of its skills and expertise to the development of this ultimate Renault brand icon.

00:50We're really making a masterpiece.

00:53This is a carbon monocoque.

00:56It's less than three seconds from 0 to 100.

00:59It's going to be funny.

01:01It's a thing only for the brave.

01:03I think it's great to have air intakes that are also the charge.

01:07The charging socket.

01:08It shows both sportiness and electricity.

01:11The charging socket is hidden in one of the air intakes at the back.

01:15You ask me if it's over, but of course it's not over.

01:19On the contrary.

01:20It's a bit of a sublimation of the idea we have of the automobile and the Renault Mission.

01:24We make people dream.

01:26It's how we see things.

01:28It's our philosophy.

01:29It represents the future.

01:30Yes, it's part of the future.

01:32But it shows you that we want to create surprise, emotion.

01:36I think that's the key to success in everything we do.
