Rally under början av 80-talet på Corsica, i en Renault 5 Turbo... Det var tider det. Underbar bil. Underbar plats. Underbar era i en av tidernas mest älskvärda motorsporter. Med tanke på att den franska biljätten arbetar för fullt med produktionsstarten av den kommande 5 Turbo 3E, har de kört ned den till Corsica och fångat lite rörliga bilder på sträckor som kördes under Historic Tour de Corse Rally. Renault 5 Turbo 3E kommer att husera 555 hästkrafter, väga 1450 kilo, drivas enbart av el och släppas under våren 2027.
"Renault 5 Turbo 3E, "mini-supercar" and modern electric reboot of the iconic Renault 5 Turbo and Turbo 2, has made its first runs at the historic Tour de Corse rally. The debut took place ahead of the competition, ending on October 11, which this year celebrates the 40th anniversary of Jean Ragnotti's win at the wheel of a Maxi 5 Turbo in 1985. For this public debut, two advanced prototypes of Renault 5 Turbo 3E performed runs and drifts in Calvi and on the routes of the iconic special stages: Notre Dame de la Serra and Montegrosso. The public was able to appreciate the performance and agility of this unique 555 hp electric sports car, driven by Renault driver ambassador Julien Saunier. Julien is taking part in the Historic Tour de Corse at the wheel of a Maxi 5 Turbo in the iconic colours of Jean Ragnotti, who won the Tour de Corse with the same car in 1985. 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."
