Renault 5 Turbo 3E (2022)
Concept car · 2022 · Electric
The R5 Turbo reborn as an electric drift machine.
A wild homage to the mid-engined R5 Turbo, the 5 Turbo 3E swapped combustion for two rear-wheel-mounted electric motors purpose-built for drifting. Sitting on a tubular chassis with a floor-mounted 42 kWh battery, FIA roll bars and a two-metre-wide body, it lit up pink, blue and yellow LED strips whenever it went sideways.
