Renault 5 Turbo 3E - Reveal film

A beast of a car built for rallying, drift and track performance, adapted for the road.” These few words sum up the brief for the development and engineering of Renault 5 Turbo 3E. Renault’s most powerful and most advanced road car ever, this spectacular electric model embodies the spirit of the Renault brand and its passion for sport and competitive essence.

Renault 5 Turbo 3E reboots the iconic heritage of the Renault 5 Turbo and Turbo 2 of the 1980, two speed demons that made their mark on their times, by their already exuberant character and innovative spirit, and with their impressive rallying performance. They were the first French models to feature a turbocharged petrol engine, a technology that Renault had just successfully introduced in Formula 1 and are now highly sought-after as collector cars.

But Renault 5 Turbo 3E is also more than that. More than just a restomod of an iconic model, modernised, innovative, electric, and even more exuberant and powerful than its predecessors, it asserts its identity as the first in a new class of vehicle: mini-supercars. Just like bigger vehicles, it boasts impressive technical specifications (540 hp, 0-100 km/h in under 3.5 seconds, carbon superstructure, etc.), while offering a high level of customisation to meet all requirements. What's more, it has a minimum length/width ratio of 2.01, putting it in the same league as a supercar, but in a compact hot hatch format.

Built on a custom platform tailored to its ambitions and performance, Renault 5 Turbo 3E is the mini-supercar taking up a position alongside Renault 5 E-Tech electric (the city car) and Alpine A290 (the sporty city car) Renault Group thus applying the formula already seen in the 1980s with the Renault 5, Renault 5 Alpine and Renault 5 Turbo: the bold image and strong credentials of Renault combined with the competitive spirit and expertise of Alpine.
