Renault built an all-electric R5 Turbo drift car.
Though it might look somewhat like an original R5 Turbo or Turbo II, the 3E is an entirely different beast. Underneath sits a custom tube-frame chassis with a 42-kWh battery sitting in the floor. It sends energy to two rear-mounted electric motors that make a total of 380 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque at zero rpm. Renault estimates it can sprint 100 meters from a standstill in 3.5 seconds—a strange metric, if you ask us, but alright. Top speed is a claimed 124 mph, and curb weight is 3306 pounds.
Renault intends for the Turbo E3 to be a show car meant to wow audiences not only in real life, but across the internet. As such it's fitted with around 10 mounting brackets specifically to place cameras to record the action inside and out.
