Renault has confirmed it will build a new version of the 5 Turbo. Called the Renault 5 Turbo 3E, it will be an electric hatchback with two motors, rear-wheel-drive, carbon bodywork and 500 horsepower.

The original Renault 5 Turbo was a cut-up and remixed supermini, a slow and not particularly memorable economy hatchback save for its somewhat infamous incarnation in the states as the Le Car.
