For now, Renault is still stingy with technical information, as the car is still at the development stage. We just know that it will benefit from a carbon superstructure which “will give it both lightness and maximum rigidity, an essential combination for a ‘sport bomb’ (sic) worthy of this name and its heritage” .

Contrary to what its looks might suggest, the R5 will arrive well on the road. But we don’t yet know when. ©Renault

Revealed in a miniseries

Original fact, it was through a documentary mini-series on the Prime Video platform that this Turbo 3E was revealed. “Anatomy of a comeback” is made up of 4 40-minute episodes telling how Renault Group was able to transform itself after the 2020 crisis, in particular through its Renaulution plan. At the very end of the last episode Luca de Meo, CEO of Renault Group, confirms the imminent arrival of the car in series. When ? Ah that, mystery.

It is undoubtedly from this angle that the reference to the original model is most obvious, with these hypertrophied wings decorated with scoops. ©Renault
