Renault Reveals New Hot Hatch: the 5 Turbo 3E

Renault has officially confirmed the Renault 5 Turbo 3E as a production model, which was revealed in an unorthodox way during the finale of the Anatomy of a Comeback documentary series on Prime Video. The series, which premiered on December 13, explores Renault’s transformative "Renaulution" and culminates with a thrilling Easter egg: a sneak peek at the all-electric Renault 5 Turbo 3E.

This modern reinterpretation of the iconic Renault 5 Turbo and Turbo 2 of the 1980s combines retro styling with modern technology. Echoing its rallying heritage, the Renault 5 Turbo 3E features motorsport-inspired livery, a lightweight carbon structure and a rear-wheel drive layout. Powered by two electric motors located in the rear wheels, the hot hatch delivers nearly 500 hp and a 0-62 mph time of 3.5 seconds.

The car’s retro-futuristic design incorporates modern touches like a charging port integrated into the rear air intake, while maintaining stylistic nods to its Turbo predecessors. Described as a "pocket rocket," the Renault 5 Turbo 3E aims to provide exhilarating driving performance and lightning-fast acceleration.

Notably, the Renault 5 Turbo 3E is set to launch alongside exclusive activations in 2025, with details on price and availability yet to be announced at the time of writing.
