Renault 5 Turbo 3E can be ordered from now for at least €155,000

Renault is opening reservations for the Renault 5 Turbo 3E ‘mini-supercar’ on 22 April 2025, from 9 a.m. (CET). A modern, electric reboot of the legendary Renault 5 Turbo and Turbo 2 of the 1980s, the new vehicle will be available for €155,000, including VAT as an introductory price, excluding options, accessories, and personalisation choices.

This is a provisional recommended retail price, limited to the first 500 signatories in the Renault network of a priority order reservation, subject to change when sales open. It will be sold in Europe (including the UK), the Middle East, Japan, and Australia.

Special marketing and financing plan

“An exceptional car demands an exceptional marketing plan,” says Renault. From 22 April, customers wishing to place a secure order for one of the 1,980 numbered examples of Renault 5 Turbo 3E, can complete the form on the dedicated page of the Renault website in their country.

They will select a dealer who will contact them to make an appointment at the showroom. Here, they will sign a reservation form and pay €50,000. They will then have priority when the Renault 5 Turbo 3E becomes available. Customers can choose the number of their future car if they wish (paying option).

In line with the principle of upfront funding, dealers placing a reservation for a car, in their capacity as key partners, will contribute to its pre-financing, just like customers. This collective effort will partly finance the development of the Renault 5 Turbo 3E.

Unique and personalized

The next phase will start in early 2026, when customers will be contacted by their selected dealer to specify their personalisation choices. When available, they will be first in line to order the Renault 5 Turbo 3E.

Alongside the historic colours of Renault 5 Turbo and Turbo 2, such as the Rouge Grenade of production models, or the black, yellow and white racing livery of the Renault 5 Turbo that won the 1982 Tour de Corse rally, customers will be able to choose from a range of new ‘gentleman driver’ options.

They will have the opportunity to meet Renault designers and create their own exterior and interior livery, selecting the colours and materials for a wide range of features, such as seats, door panels, dashboards, etc. This will allow them to create a truly unique car.

Finally, in the first half of 2027, customers can finalize the configuration and order their car from the dealer. The amount paid for the reservation will be deducted from the total amount payable, which is in line with the configuration selected. The first vehicles configured and ordered will be delivered in 2027 (subject to homologation).

“We are proud to have succeeded in involving our dealers, as well as the first customers, in the pre-financing process of the Renault 5 Turbo 3E,” says Ivan Segal, Global Sales and Operations Director for Renault.

“To achieve this, we have implemented an innovative reservation scheme that befits this exceptional vehicle, a major image vector for the Renault brand. On one hand, it allows customers to secure a priority order reservation within the network from today. On the other hand, it helps us finalize the development of the Renault 5 Turbo 3E and launch the first units in 2027.”

“The Renault 5 Turbo 3E could not have come to life without this entirely new process, demonstrating Renault Group’s ability to innovate in the marketing schemes of extraordinary projects,” he concludes.

See you in Goodwood

The Renault 5 Turbo 3E is the brand’s most powerful (and most expensive) road car ever, with the highest performance levels. It will be developed by Alpine and assembled at the Jean Rédélé Alpine plant in Dieppe.

Ampere contributed its expertise in software and electronic architecture. At the same time, Mobilize provided services to make EV driving easier: Mobilize Smart Charge, Mobilize Charge Pass, Plug & Charge function, and bi-directional charging (V2L and V2G).

Following the reservation phase, the Renault 5 Turbo 3E will be displayed at the recently opened RNLT stores in Paris, Brussels, Rotterdam, Berlin, Milan, Madrid, London, and Riyadh, allowing potential customers and the general public to look closer. It will then be displayed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed from 10 to 13 July 2025.
