still turbo, now electric
It has accumulated successes in rallying, made hearts beat faster, and collected superlatives.... The R5 Turbo 2 is over 40 years old! What better way to pay tribute to it than to welcome the 100% electric R5 Turbo 3E E-Tech, just as sharp, as efficient, as spectacular! An icon brought up to date.
100% playful
to the end of the design
The rocker panels, bumpers and all surfaces are redesigned on this show car, which is 25cm wider than the Turbo 2. Aesthetic details: the purplish-pink windows, the red LED inlays that light up during drifting and the illuminated logo in the centre of the steering wheel.
100% performance
electric, iconic, ecstatic
The 100% electric R5 Turbo 3E E-Tech does not deny anything: as powerful as its predecessor, it modernizes its iconic style. Spoiler, air intakes and line colours are impossible to miss! Plus, its 280kW (380hp) motor electrifies everything in its path.
280kW and 700Nm torque
Located at the rear, the two electric motors develop 280kW, a power equivalent to 380hp. The torque of 700Nm is available from acceleration and the 42kWh batteries allow for drift sessions at full power.
uncompromising chassis
Created for competition and more specifically for drifting, the 100% electric R5 Turbo 3E E-Tech weighs 980kg (excluding batteries) and inherits a tubular chassis designed especially for it. The flat floor accommodates the batteries; the very low centre of gravity contributes to better sliding.
everything drifting
A strict two-seater designed to shake up the attach zones, the 100% electric Turbo 3E E-Tech is necessarily rear-wheel drive. The carbon fibre bodywork covers a tubular chassis, the slick tyres are designed for drifting and camera mounts allow sessions to be recorded and shared.
all for drift
The aerodynamics are specifically worked on: air intakes in the hood, front bumper that reduces air resistence, no mirrors but camera mounts and a rear diffuser houses the air outlets. During drifts, the headlights play an animation inspired by glitch art.
