Renault 5 Turbo 3E: Built on a New Tailor-Made Electric Platform

Renault 5 Turbo 3E square headlights

At the front, Renault 5 Turbo 3E maintains the same layout as its predecessors: square headlights – now with LED technology – fusing with the edge of the bonnet, a slim strip with three central sections and two additional square lights, originally long-range lights now replaced by LED daytime running lights.

Renault 5 Turbo 3E diffuser

An aerodynamic splitter crosses the body between the two rear lights. Underneath the bumper is a diffuser whose efficiency is maximised by the design of the bumper, extending outwards on either side.

The aluminium platform was specifically developed by Alpine Cars engineers to be as light and agile as possible.

Strictly a 2-door, 2-seater vehicle, Renault 5 Turbo 3E conceals 20-inch wheels, each fitted with an electric motor, under its wing extensions. All the power electronics are located in between, while the battery is housed under the floor. This architecture frees up plenty of boot space for luggage – a unique proposition for such a sporty vehicle – while lowering the centre of gravity.
