Renault R5 Turbo 3E concept is an electric drift buggy for the PlayStation generation
says 1,000 5 Turbos were originally slated for the U.S. market, but the deal fell through.
The Renault R5 Turbo 3E carries on the spirit of the original Turbos as a rear-wheel-drive two-seater built for performance. The 3E nomenclature is a nod to this being the third"Turbo" and the E stands for electric. Obviously, with apowertrain there's no turbo per se. The 42 kWh cells are mounted behind the front seats where the original's engine was, and power is fed to a pair of electric motors making 280 kilowatts and 516 pound-feet of torque.

Perhaps they were inspired by corporate partner Nissan's many chassis popular with drifters, but more likely they're just trying to grab the fleeting attention of gamers and social media hounds. As such, there are 10 built-in mounting spots for action cameras to capture the car's sliding antics.

Other mainstays of drift machines can be found throughout the build. An extreme steering angle turns the wheels over 50 degrees in each direction. An upright quick-grab handbrake locks up the rear wheels. A giant wing,hooks and vaguely 80s-inspired aero disc wheels round out the package. Oh, and of course there's an NFT component to it.
It's the exact opposite of the Renault R5 Diamant, which was packed with traditional French crafts and design that have been around for centuries. However, it seems Renault's bet to appeal to modern tastes paid off, as the car won the Public Award at the Chantilly Arts & Elegance festival.
