Renault’s high-performance 5 Turbo 3E will make its UK dynamic debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July.

The electric model, which harks back to the original Renault 5 Turbo, arrives as one of the most powerful cars produced by the French brand. With 540bhp and 4,800Nm of torque, the Turbo 3E will go from 0-60mph in under 3.5 seconds. Despite having two rear-mounted in-wheel motors, the 3E weighs just 1,450kg.placeholder image

Renault has also equipped the 3E with rapid 330kW charging, meaning that a 10 to 80 per cent charge can be completed in just over 15 minutes. A range of over 249 miles is claimed, too.

July’s Goodwood Festival of Speed event will mark the first time that the £140,000 5 Turbo 3E will have been driven in front of crowds, having only been displayed in static form up until this point. Production of the car will be limited to 1,980 examples, with reservations still open for interested buyers.placeholder image

Fabrice Cambolive, CEO of the Renault brand, said: “Bringing the production-ready Renault 5 Turbo 3E to the Goodwood Festival of Speed for its UK dynamic debut is the perfect way to celebrate this spirit of performance and excitement with enthusiasts.”

Also making its dynamic debut at Goodwood is Renault’s new Twingo, an electric reincarnation of the brand’s popular city car. It aims to arrive next year with a starting price of under £20,000 and a range of up to 163 miles.
