______________________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[10–29-25 /// ] Us Americans should look away at the new Renault 5 Turbo 3E as we will never get a chance to buy one new, but this 555HP EV hot hatch is entering production, at a cost. Priced at a shocking $185,000, the 5 Tubro 3E will begin deliveries in 2027 and just 1,980 will be made. But why so pricy? ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏁 Spec Sheet: The Renault 5 Turbo 3E starts with 2 in-wheel hub motors out back, making it RWD and giving it a 43/57 f/r weight distribution. It makes a combined 555HP from an 800v architecture, has 330kW DC Fast charging (10-80% in1 5min, and will get around a WLTP rated 248 miles of range from a 70kWh battery. 0-60 happens around 3.5 seconds and it weighs under 3,196lbs. 🏁

So the specs alone are a bit nuts. The platform is unique largely too. And these in wheel hub motors have extreme power control, torque vectoring, and very uncommon in the industry. Adding to the cost. Design wise, it looks epic and has a carbon fiber body with unique lights, a wide fenders, aero, and more. Oh and over 500 units have been reserved already.
