Renault 5 Turbo 3E Is A 535-HP Supercar Disguised As A Hot Hatch
A flurry of orders, rave reviews and a Car of the Year gong proved Renault made the right decision bringing the 5 back as an EV, and now it’s taken the retro-electric idea a step further. The 5 Turbo 3E is a 535 hp (540 PS) tribute to the nutty 1980s Renault 5 Turbo rally car that reaches showrooms in 2027.
Renault 5 Turbo 3E brings in-wheel motors to electric hot hatch

Due to start deliveries in 2027, production will be limited to 1,980 units in reference to the original 5 Turbo's launch year.
