Renault has reopened orders for the highly exclusive 5 Turbo 3E electric hot hatch in Australia, after the first 500 models sold out in just 48 hours<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The car, which takes inspiration from the 1980s Renault 5 Turbo, has been priced at a steep rate, making it one of the most expensive new models in the company’s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 5 Turbo 3E is not just a tribute to a classic, but a modern interpretation, offering electrifying performance with a bespoke platform and unique design. This move signals Renault’s commitment to offering high-performance electric vehicles<\/a> (EVs) for a select group of buyers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Renault Australia, the second batch of 500 units became available for reservation on April 28, 2025, with the car expected to be delivered locally by 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new performance benchmark in the electric vehicle sector<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 5 Turbo 3E<\/a> will be built on a custom platform<\/strong>, distinct from the regular Renault 5 E-Tech, which allows for substantial performance upgrades. Unlike other electric vehicles, the 5 Turbo 3E features in-wheel electric motors, offering a significant boost in power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renault claims the car <\/a>can achieve up to 400 kW of power and 4,800 Nm of torque at the wheels, enabling a 0-100 km\/h time of just 3.5 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vehicle is also fitted with a 70 kWh lithium-ion battery<\/strong>, providing a driving range of up to 400 km under the WLTP cycle, as well as an impressive 350 kW DC fast-charging capability. In terms of design, the 5 Turbo 3E sports a more aggressive stance with wider dimensions compared to the standard Renault 5 E-Tech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exterior is styled with racing-inspired livery, and inside, it features bucket seats, a digital instrument cluster, and a rally-style handbrake\u2014further emphasising its performance credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exclusivity and pricing set to redefine the market<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Renault has set a lofty price for the 5 Turbo 3E, with global pricing pegged at \u20ac155,000 (approximately A$275,595), with a reservation fee of \u20ac50,000 (A$88,870). Given the addition of import duties, Goods and Services Tax (GST), and Luxury Car Tax (LCT) in Australia, the price is expected to exceed A$300,000<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will position the 5 Turbo 3E as one of the most expensive vehicles in Renault’s history, surpassing the 2019 Megane R.S. Trophy-R.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renault has also made clear that the car will be produced in a limited run of just 1980 units globally, commemorating the launch year of the original 5 Turbo. Once these vehicles are sold, no more will be produced<\/strong>, further increasing the exclusivity of the model. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
