This new Renault EV costs more than a Porsche 911, and I still want one

Renault 5 Turbo 3E.
QUICK SUMMARY

The new Renault 5 Turbo 3E will cost from £135,000 and deliveries of the 1,980 examples are due to begin in 2027.

Sharing very little with the starboard 5 E-Tech, the Turbo 3E is a pumped-up, carbon-bodied road racer with an 800-volt architecture and a pair of in-wheel motors on the rear axle – and is, for now, the only series-production car to feature such technology.

T3 wouldn’t normally cover the price of a new Renault hatchback. But the bombastic 5 Turbo 3E, complete with pumped-up carbon body and in-wheel motors, is no normal car.
