Marking a new stage in the development of Renault 5 Turbo 3E, two advanced prototypes made their public drives on Sunday 5 and Monday 6 October in Calvi, Corsica. Taking place ahead of the Historic Tour de Corse rally, this event followed months of fine-tuning and unrelenting efforts by the Alpine engineers responsible for developing this unique vehicle. Developed by Alpine, Renault 5 Turbo 3E is based on a custom-built aluminium platform, optimised by carbon features including the top section of the bulkhead and part of the floor. An ideal mix that is both lightweight and stiff. The in-wheel motors at the rear are the main innovation, developing 2 x 204 kW, the equivalent of 555 hp, for torque of 4,800 Nm that is available even faster than with a conventional electric motor. At the same time, the two wheels can be controlled separately to optimise torque distribution, and boost agility and performance. Traction is provided by the front and rear suspension with their double wishbone set-up. Priced at €160,000, Renault 5 Turbo 3E is now available for reservation, offering customers an opportunity to buy one of the 1,980 vehicles available when orders open. Do you like it?
