Ahead of the reborn R5 road car, Renault’s given us the 374bhp 5 Turbo 3E drift car with a giant wing…
Turbo-inspired concept car that will help mark the brand’s 50th birthday celebrations for its small car icon. Called the R5 Turbo 3E, it’s been designed to be a tiny electric drift car, replacing the turbocharged petrol engine with a pair of electric motors situated on the rear axle.
Designed under the stewardship of Gilles Vidal, the concept blends a video game-style exaggeration of form with period racing elements to dramatic effect. Despite its digital-only reveal, Renault has built a physical version that’ll be on display at the 2022 Paris motor show. The R5 Turbo 3E is built on a bespoke tubular steel frame, and wrapped in a carbonfibre body that echoes the original in terms of overall proportion and form. It’s dominated by more aggressive interpretations of the Turbo’s iconic flared arches that sit 250mm wider than the original road car. Both bumpers and sills feature an almost caricatured take on modern aero, dominated by a deep front splitter matched to an oversized rear diffuser.
Like the rest of the car, the cabin is motorsport-inspired with a concept car edge, highlighted by two Sabelt racing seats, upholstered dash and modular display.
