Gold prices hit 2-week high as Trump-Fed feud escalates with Cook firing
Investing.com -- Renault (EPA:RENA)’s RENA.PA limited-edition, electric version of the iconic 1980 R5 Turbo petrol-engine hatchback, has received 850 orders in its first week, despite its starting price of 155,000 euros ($176,000), the company reported. The car, originally designed for rally sports, has been reimagined with a 555-horsepower electric engine and retains the body-built rear wings of its predecessor.
The company plans to produce only 1,980 units of the Renault 5 Turbo 3E electric vehicle. This electric version is capable of accelerating to 100 km (62 miles) per hour in just 3.5 seconds.
The company opened orders for the Turbo 3E on April 22 and received 850 reservations in the first week. The interest came from various regions, including Europe, Japan, the Middle East, and Australia.
To reserve the car, customers are required to pay a 50,000-euro deposit. Deliveries of the vehicle are expected to start in 2027 from Renault’s Alpine plant located in Dieppe, northern France.
