It will be one of the main attractions at the Paris grand gathering. The restomod show car R5 Turbo will appeal to nostalgic enthusiasts of the company’s glorious past, as well as fans of electric mobility.
Tell me where you come from and I will tell you who you are! Renault keeps reviving its past to better face the future. A few weeks after unveiling its Renault 5 Diamant, and leaking some information about its future R4, the Billancourt firm is now interested in the sultry Renault 5 Turbo. While the turbocharged internal combustion engines of the era no longer have a place, modern electric motorized interpretations are in vogue.
This new show car hints at notably muscular lines, with wide fenders housing large-diameter tires, while the oversized diffuser and impressive rear wing help keep this restomod firmly planted on the road. Modern touches are found in the LED technology headlights and, of course, in its electric motorization.
As we write these lines, nothing has been leaked about the engine’s pedigree, but there’s no doubt that the power will be significant. Especially if Renault wants to honor the historical colors of its concept car and past glories, namely white, yellow, and black.
A spectacular unveiling!
The official presentation will take place on September 22, followed by its first public debut on September 24 and 25 at the Chantilly Arts & Elegance event, then at the Paris Motor Show 2022!
