The Renault 5 Turbo—the stuff of 1980s legend—is back, reimagined for the modern era in the form of the Renault R5 Turbo 3E. Electric, powerful, and unmistakably stylish, this isn’t just a car; it’s a fashion statement with horsepower to match.
Blending heritage design with forward-thinking innovation, the R5 Turbo 3E embodies the perfect mix of nostalgia and cutting-edge technology. Wide-shouldered, angular, and aggressive, its body pays homage to the original rally hero of the 1980s, while the bold LED light clusters and modern carbon fibre accents bring it firmly into 2024. Think retro-futurism at its finest. It’s eye-catching but purposeful—a car that would look just as at home tearing up the racetrack as it would turning heads outside a chic city café.
Underneath the vintage-inspired shell lies a beast of the electric age. The rear-wheel-drive R5 Turbo 3E delivers an impressive 500hp from its all-electric powertrain, propelling it from 0-62mph in just 3.5 seconds. For a car designed to celebrate its rally-bred roots, speed and agility are non-negotiable. Built with drifting in mind, Renault has ensured the R5 Turbo 3E stays playful while showcasing the raw power of electric mobility.
Inside, the interior mirrors the same bold spirit. Futuristic digital displays, rally-style bucket seats, and neon details bring a youthful, rebellious edge to the cabin. It’s modern and minimalist but retains the charm of the original R5 Turbo—equal parts motorsport functionality and refined design flair.
For the fashion-conscious car enthusiast, the R5 Turbo 3E represents more than performance—it’s about presence. In an age of understated EVs, Renault has created something unapologetically brash and undeniably cool. It’s a car that doesn’t just drive—it arrives.
While pricing and production details are still under wraps, one thing’s for certain: the Renault R5 Turbo 3E is an electrified celebration of style, nostalgia, and a future-ready attitude. Classic cool, reinvented.
