RENAULT R5 TURBO 3E - THE MOST EXPENSIVE FRENCH CAR EVER?!

EV Channels Review

The Renault R5 Turbo 3E is presented as an extreme, limited-edition electric hypercar, priced from €160,000 and capped at 1,980 units. The reviewer highlights its aggressive rally-inspired design, full carbon fiber chassis, and powerful dual rear hub motors delivering 555 hp for sub-3.5-second 0-100 km/h acceleration and a 270 km/h top speed. Despite its performance focus, it incorporates advanced tech like 800V charging (15-80% in 15 mins) and serves as a technology carrier for future Renault EVs. The interior offers extensive personalization options, including custom colors for every panel. While praised for its unique concept, extreme performance, and potential for drifting (with a dedicated mode and handbrake), the reviewer questions its high price point, suggesting it's primarily for dedicated enthusiasts and collectors seeking a rare, high-performance halo car rather than a practical daily driver. Deliveries are slated for late 2026/early 2027.
