Renault has unveiled the all-new Renault R5 Turbo 3E Concept. It is an electric prototype based on the body lines of the old R5 but with rear wheel drive and 375 horsepower.
The model will be showcased during the 2022 Paris Motor Show and it is another statement made by Renault vis-à-vis electrification.
The concept car has two electric motors at the back and a 42 kWh battery pack. The 375 horsepower is joined by 700 Nm of torque, and the prototype can run from not to 100 km/h in just three and a half seconds. The top speed is limited to 200 km/h.
The Renault R5 Turbo 3E rides on 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels and weighs 1.5 tons, but don’t forget that this is an electric hot hatch, and no ordinary combustion-engined one.
