\n Well,
\n Renault
\n was carrying out this initiative. Towards the end of last year, when the French carmaker disclosed
\n The 5 Turbo 3E electric super-hatch
\n As previously stated, the yellow monster was slated for production. Now, this has been confirmed officially.\n <\/p>\n
\n Set to roll off the production line in 2027, the Renault 5 Turbo 3E is a modern, electric throwback to the iconic 5 Turbo and 5 Turbo 2 of the 1980s. Just like its gas-powered predecessors, the new electric \u201cmini supercar\u201d resembles the standard version of the iconic hot hatches, but turns the craziness dial to 11 under the skin.\n <\/p>\n
\n The single front-mounted motor and 400-volt battery pack are now history.
\n Renault 5
\n Instead, Renault opted for a custom-made platform equipped with an 800-volt battery pack that powers two electric motors located within the wheels at the back. This setup delivers a combined power of 540 horsepower, and according to Renault, can accelerate from a standstill to 62 mph (or 0-100 km\/h) in less than 3.5 seconds.\n <\/p>\n
\n As a compact two-door hatchback measuring only 157 inches (4 meters) in length, each start should provide quite an exhilarating experience. However, it’s more than just rapid acceleration; the French carmaker claims this limited-edition electric vehicle has a range of up to 250 miles (400 kilometers) per full charge. Additionally, with its remarkable peak charging capability of 350 kilowatts, it can boost its battery level from 15 to 80 percent in merely 15 minutes.\n <\/p>\n
\n The vehicle tips the scales at 3,197 pounds (1,450 kilograms) when factoring in its 70-kilowatt-hour battery. This mass is comparable to that of an average Renault 5 equipped with a 52-kWh battery, featuring four doors along with rear seating. To maintain a lower curb weight, the 5 Turbo 3E features a body made from carbon fiber and includes only two seats alongside two doors.\n <\/p>\n
\n Inside, you’ll find a vertically positioned handbrake lever reminiscent of its ancestor’s rallying past, along with features like a roll cage, bucket seats equipped with six-point harnesses, and Alcantara upholstery spread across the interior.\n <\/p>\n
\n In terms of design, the production version is almost indistinguishable from last year’s prototype. This has become somewhat typical for Renault; frequently, exciting concept cars are introduced but never make it to production. Therefore, it’s quite invigorating to witness this vehicle transition into production virtually unchanged.\n <\/p>\n
\n Renault announced that pre-orders for the striking 5 Turbo 3E will commence shortly. Although prices have not been disclosed yet, only 1,980 vehicles will be produced\u2014an homage to the initial 5 Turbo model from 1980 that was created as part of a homologation requirement. Production of the first units is scheduled to start in 2027. This limited-edition Renault 5 Turbo 3E will be available in Europe, Australia, Japan, and the Middle East.\n <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
