The all-electric Renault 5 Turbo 3E<\/a> has made its UK public dynamic debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed<\/a>, tackling the famous hillclimb alongside the iconic 1980 Renault 5 Turbo that inspired its creation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The two cars appeared together outside Goodwood House<\/a> before launching up the hill in tandem, creating one of the festival\u2019s standout moments by celebrating Renault\u2019s rally heritage while showcasing its electric performance future.<\/p>\n

Inspired by one of the most legendary hot hatches of the 1980s, the Renault 5 Turbo 3E is the most powerful road-going Renault ever produced. It develops 555 hp and an astonishing 4,800 Nm of wheel torque through twin rear-mounted in-wheel electric motors<\/a>. Thanks to its lightweight carbon-fibre<\/a> superstructure, the 3E weighs around 1,450 kg, enabling a 0\u201362 mph time of under 3.5 seconds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The new flagship also features an advanced 800-volt electrical architecture<\/a>, allowing ultra-fast DC charging<\/a> at up to 330 kW, making it as capable on long journeys as it is on the track. Production of the Renault 5 Turbo 3E will be limited to 1,980 individually numbered examples, commemorating the launch year of the original Renault 5 Turbo. Priced from \u00a3140,000, reservations<\/a> are now open, with first customer deliveries expected in 2027.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Joining the 3E on the hill was a beautifully preserved 1980 Renault 5 Turbo<\/a> owned by private collector Richard Head<\/a>. The car has its own Goodwood connection, with Richard inspired to purchase one after spotting a Renault 5 Turbo in a Festival of Speed car park years ago. He eventually found the highly original red example that now forms a prized part of his collection.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Describing the car as \u201ca defibrillator of a car,\u201d Richard watched it share the hillclimb with its modern electric successor<\/a>, symbolically passing the Renault 5 Turbo performance legacy to a new generation.<\/p>\n
