A Modern Take on a Rally Icon
Inspired by its rally-bred predecessors, the Renault 5 Turbo 3E captures the essence of competition and innovation.
Developed alongside Alpine, Renault’s performance division, this model delivers an exhilarating driving experience.
It features 540hp from in-wheel motors, rear-wheel drive, and an 800-volt system for rapid charging.
Accelerating from 0-100km/h in under 3.5secs, with a top speed of 270km/h (on track), this electric hot hatch is built for performance.
Its carbon fibre construction keeps the weight at just 1,450kg, ensuring agility and sharp handling.
Bold, Aerodynamic Design
Renault has seamlessly merged retro aesthetics with futuristic elements.
The Renault 5 Turbo 3E showcases an aggressive stance, featuring extended bumpers, a large rear wing, and aerodynamic enhancements for improved efficiency.
LED headlights honour the original models, while 20-inch wheels house individual electric motors, giving it a rally-inspired edge.
With dimensions of 4.08m in length, 2.03m in width, and 1.38m in height, this compact hot hatch embodies supercar-like proportions and a dynamic driving experience.
Electric Performance
This high-performance EV features a 70kWh lithium-ion battery at its core, offering up to 400km of combined range.
Thanks to its 350kW DC fast-charging capability, the battery can charge from 15% to 80% in just 15mins.
It also supports bidirectional charging (V2L & V2G), allowing integration with smart energy solutions.
For an authentic motorsport feel, the Renault 5 Turbo 3E includes a drift-assist function, a rally-style vertical handbrake, and four driving modes: Snow, Regular, Sport, and Race.
Delivering 4,800Nm of torque, it ensures instant power and precise handling.

Custom & Limited Edition
Personalisation is a major highlight. Buyers can choose from classic liveries like Rouge Grenade or a bespoke modern finish.
