Renault’s celebrating 50 years of the iconic R5 with an EV restomod concept...
This is joined by an aggressive motorsport-inspired body, visible from the enormous wheel arch extensions, dual-pane rear wing and concave dish wheels. These all reference the R5’s motorsport endeavours, including the wild Group B rally car from the mid-’80s that spawned the Renault 5 Turbo homologation road car.
No specifics as to the concept’s technical details have been revealed, aside from it featuring an electric powertrain that will include an electric motor and battery pack. Given the R5 Turbo’s iconic mid-engined layout, we suspect that the concept could utilise just the one electric motor powering the rear wheels.
We’ll have to wait another week or so to see the car in full when it’s revealed online, before making a public debut at the Paris motor show in October. Alongside this concept, Renault will showcase other exciting projects, including our first look at a reboot of the back-to-basics Renault 4.
