The Renault 5 Turbo 3E already has a Price to the market. The most radical electric version of the small French car promises to be a before and after in a category that is still to be developed: that of the sports electric car. He will do it with figures that scare but are up to what he promises.
Because if you were thinking about picking up the phone and reserving one of the 1,980 units that Renault will put on sale, you should know that the deadline has already been opened. The price to be paid: 50,000 euros. With that payment you will have preference to one of the first 500 units that are put in the market and, in addition, a special price: 155.000 euros.
As Renault has revealed, those interested will have to fill in a form on this website. It is requested that a specific dealership be selected and, later, it will be the brand that is responsible for contacting the client.
Once this first procedure is over, the client can customize his order throughout the next year and wait for one of the first deliveries in 2027 when the car will be launched definitively. In this customization process you can contact a meeting with the Renault design team to define all kinds of details.
The company specifies that the seats, doors panels, the dashboard can be customized … but you can also opt for classical decorations such as the red grenade or black, yellow and white classic that pay tribute to the winner of the Corsica Rally in 1982 and that we have seen in the promotional images.
Why does an electric car have less autonomy than the announcing
A unique car in the market
The French have also taken the opportunity to confirm that the Renault 5 Turbo 3E will star in a tour of the dealers of Madrid, Paris, Brussels and other European cities. Finally, this summer we will see at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, one of the great appointments for speed lovers.
The Renault 5 Turbo 3E serves the company to test to what extent the gum of nostalgia can stretch. The price is so high that it equals that of a Porsche Taycan GTS, a 700 hp car that accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and has a battery with a size of 105 kWh for what it can do without clearing more than 500 real kilometers without stopping to recharge.
Therefore, Renault’s bet cannot be more passionate. It enters an unknown land for the company offering, without any doubt, the most expensive electric car of the moment in relation to the price and size of its battery. Of course, it is also a car that promises to open a before and after in its category.
The Renault 5 Turbo 3E is pending approval but has already announced that it will offer 540 hp of power that will deliver them with two rear engines. Its 4,800 NM motor pair breaks all the schemes for a car just 4.08 meters long.
Until now, the most expensive and powerful options among electric cars have represented huge gigantic berling or SUVs. The biggest problem has been to introduce a battery large enough to feed powers of hundreds of power CV in a small car. This Renault 5 Turbo 3E will mount a 70 kWh battery with 800 volts structure promising loads of up to 350 kW (right now the fastest loads are about 250 kW and are totally exceptional). They hope to go from 15 to 80% capacity in 15 minutes.
In addition, there was another problem added to the sportsmanship of electric cars. The weight was too high. Renault has done everything possible to file kg using carbon fiber. The result is a 1,415 kg car. There are 100 kg less than, for example, the last Volkswagen Golf R and a few kg more than one of the last Renault Mégane RS Trophy-R.
It only remains to be known to what renault 5 turbo 3e is a pump dynamically and, above all, if Renault will place the 1,980 limited units that will be put on sale of this new Culogordo at a price of 155,000 euros of departure.
