Renault 5 Turbo 3E returns in the form of electric “mini-supercar”
The design of Renault 5 Turbo 3E is naturally inspired by the original Renault 5 Turbo and Turbo 2
London, March 17, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) ––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.
At the same time, other complementary forces are emerging, such as Ampere for software and electronic architecture, and Mobilize for bidirectional charging (V2L and V2G), along with a range of services to make electric driving easier: Mobilize Smart Charge, Mobilize Charge Pass and the Plug & Charge function. Some partners also have provided their expertise and know-how for key components such as the in-wheel motors and carbon fibre superstructure. As such, Renault 5 Turbo 3E takes full advantage of Renault Group’s transformation, driven by the Renaulution plan.
