Back in the \u201980s, it was the kid at the party doing backflips off the furniture while everyone else played it safe. A mid-engined, turbocharged, rally-bred monster stuffed into the shell of a humble city car, it made no sense\u2014and that was precisely the point. Fast forward to 2025, and Renault has decided that the world needs a new dose of that madness, but with a modern twist. Enter the Renault 5 Turbo 3E: fully electric, absurdly powerful, and still utterly unhinged.<\/p>\n<p>This thing isn\u2019t playing around. Two electric motors stuffed into the rear wheels deliver a staggering 536 horsepower, which is already impressive, but the real insanity lies in the torque figure: 3,540 lb-ft. That\u2019s not a typo. That\u2019s the kind of torque you expect from a locomotive, not a hot hatch. Even in an EV world where instant acceleration is the norm, this level of grunt is borderline ridiculous. The result? A 0-62 mph time of under 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 168 mph, which would have put it in supercar territory not too long ago.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: Renault<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-541015\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/18\/renaults-bonkers-r5-turbo-3e-is-an-ev-that-refuses-to-be-boring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Renault\u2019s Bonkers R5 Turbo 3E Is an EV That Refuses to Be Boring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-541015\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/18\/renaults-bonkers-r5-turbo-3e-is-an-ev-that-refuses-to-be-boring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Renault\u2019s Bonkers R5 Turbo 3E Is an EV That Refuses to Be Boring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"a40fcafb0a1fe69d023dd491-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"a40fcafb0a1fe69d023dd491-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-541016\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/18\/renaults-bonkers-r5-turbo-3e-is-an-ev-that-refuses-to-be-boring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Renault\u2019s Bonkers R5 Turbo 3E Is an EV That Refuses to Be Boring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-541016\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/18\/renaults-bonkers-r5-turbo-3e-is-an-ev-that-refuses-to-be-boring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Renault\u2019s Bonkers R5 Turbo 3E Is an EV That Refuses to Be Boring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Of course, this is Renault we\u2019re talking about, so they didn\u2019t just make it fast\u2014they made it wild. The Turbo 3E is built on a bespoke aluminum platform, draped in carbon fiber, and shaped like a brick of rage. The widened stance, aggressive aero, and those hilariously exaggerated fender flares make it look like it escaped from a cyberpunk fever dream. The wheelbase is longer than the standard Renault 5 EV, and the windscreen is pushed further back, exaggerating the mid-engine-like proportions. Renault calls it a \u201cmini supercar,\u201d and honestly, it\u2019s hard to argue.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-541017\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/18\/renaults-bonkers-r5-turbo-3e-is-an-ev-that-refuses-to-be-boring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Renault\u2019s Bonkers R5 Turbo 3E Is an EV That Refuses to Be Boring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-541017\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/18\/renaults-bonkers-r5-turbo-3e-is-an-ev-that-refuses-to-be-boring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Renault\u2019s Bonkers R5 Turbo 3E Is an EV That Refuses to Be Boring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"a40fcafb0a1fe69d023dd491-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ads-2 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"a40fcafb0a1fe69d023dd491-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The 70kWh battery sits low in the chassis, running on 800V <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> and capable of rapid charging from 15 to 80% in just 15 minutes.

Pricing hasn\u2019t been officially announced, but expect a figure north of \u00a3120k, and if you start ticking option boxes, don\u2019t be surprised if that number doubles. A steep price for a Renault hot hatch, sure, but this isn\u2019t some nostalgia-bait special edition with fancy badges and a big price tag. This is Renault going full mad scientist, reimagining the essence of the original R5 Turbo for the EV era, and making something that feels genuinely exciting.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-541021\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/18\/renaults-bonkers-r5-turbo-3e-is-an-ev-that-refuses-to-be-boring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Renault\u2019s Bonkers R5 Turbo 3E Is an EV That Refuses to Be Boring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-541021\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/18\/renaults-bonkers-r5-turbo-3e-is-an-ev-that-refuses-to-be-boring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Renault\u2019s Bonkers R5 Turbo 3E Is an EV That Refuses to Be Boring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_8.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-541022\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/18\/renaults-bonkers-r5-turbo-3e-is-an-ev-that-refuses-to-be-boring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Renault\u2019s Bonkers R5 Turbo 3E Is an EV That Refuses to Be Boring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_9.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-541022\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/18\/renaults-bonkers-r5-turbo-3e-is-an-ev-that-refuses-to-be-boring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Renault\u2019s Bonkers R5 Turbo 3E Is an EV That Refuses to Be Boring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_9.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s especially refreshing about the R5 Turbo 3E is that it doesn\u2019t feel like another sanitized, eco-conscious EV trying to blend in. It\u2019s loud in every way except for noise. It\u2019s brash, overpowered, impractical, and utterly unapologetic. Renault could have played it safe, but they chose chaos instead. The electric future needs cars like this\u2014cars that refuse to be boring, that make no logical sense, but exist purely because someone had the audacity to say, \u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-541026\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/18\/renaults-bonkers-r5-turbo-3e-is-an-ev-that-refuses-to-be-boring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Renault\u2019s Bonkers R5 Turbo 3E Is an EV That Refuses to Be Boring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-541026\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/18\/renaults-bonkers-r5-turbo-3e-is-an-ev-that-refuses-to-be-boring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Renault\u2019s Bonkers R5 Turbo 3E Is an EV That Refuses to Be Boring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/auto-draft\/renault_5_turbo_3e_13.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The original R5 Turbo was a rally legend, a car that made no compromises and burned its way into automotive history through sheer lunacy. The 3E takes that same spirit and channels it into the EV era. And while it may lack the turbo lag and screaming four-cylinder of the old car, it replaces it with brutal electric torque and tire-smoking madness. Renault has created something special here, something that doesn\u2019t just honor the past but redefines what a hot hatch can be in an electrified world.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SHARE\"><\/span>SHARE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"sd-content\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-facebook\"><span><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-x\"><span>X<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-pinterest\"><span>Pinterest<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-reddit\"><span>Reddit<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-linkedin\"><span>LinkedIn<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-tumblr\"><span>Tumblr<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-pocket\"><span>Pocket<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-email\"><span>Email<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-print\"><span>Print<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-end\"><\/ul>\n<div class=\"sharing-hidden\">\n<div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-telegram\"><span>Telegram<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-threads\"><span>Threads<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-jetpack-whatsapp\"><span>WhatsApp<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-mastodon\"><span>Mastodon<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-bluesky\"><span>Bluesky<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-nextdoor\"><span>Nextdoor<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-end\"><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p>\n<div>\n                                                            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n                            <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                <span>Sarang Sheth<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                        <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
