Renault 5 Turbo 3E makes a comeback as a production model

For quite possibly the first time in history, Renault has made use of its new documentary series to announce the unveiling of its Renault 5 Turbo 3E, which was confirmed by Renault Group CEO Luca de Meo as an upcoming production model.

46 years after the launch of the first Renault 5 Turbo, this unveiling will be followed in 2025 by an array of exclusive activations further lifting the curtain on the upcoming car, which was revealed by the show car of the same name at the 2022 Paris Motor Show.

Featuring the historic colours of one of the rallying versions of the early 1980s, the Renault 5 Turbo 3E is all-electric and sports a retro-futuristic design. Just like its predecessor, the new car will have a rear-wheel drive layout, with the two electric motors housed in the rear wheels delivering a total output of over 500bhp. In addition, it can complete the century sprint in just 3.5 seconds.
