Renault will return to the Goodwood Festival of Speed with a showcase that brings together some of the most defining and celebrated moments in its performance history, from rally-winning icons and Formula 1 pioneers to its latest electric ‘mini-supercar’, the Renault 5 Turbo 3E, making its UK public dynamic debut.

Across the event, Renault’s presence will create a vivid link between past innovation and future technology. The 555 hp Renault 5 Turbo 3E will take on the famous hillclimb in tandem with the pioneering Renault RS10 Formula 1 car, while on the Renault stand it will be brought face-to-face with the legendary 1985 Tour de Corse-winning Renault 5 Turbo that inspired it, reconnecting the original with its modern electric reinterpretation. The championship-winning Renault R25 completes the line-up, forming a striking display that reflects how Renault’s approach to performance has evolved across generations.

At the centre of this story is the Renault 5 Turbo 3E, which reimagines one of Renault’s most iconic competition cars for the electric era. Running throughout the four-day event in front of sell-out crowds, it will demonstrate how the spirit of the original Renault 5 Turbo continues in a bold new form, defined by electrifying performance, advanced engineering and unmistakable design.

Powered by two rear-mounted in-wheel electric motors developing 4,800 Nm of torque, the Renault 5 Turbo 3E is the most powerful road-going Renault ever created. Its carbon superstructure keeps weight to around 1,450 kg, enabling 0–62 mph in under 3.5 seconds, while an advanced 800-volt architecture supports ultra-fast 330 kW charging, allowing a 15–80% recharge in just 15 minutes.

Displayed alongside it, the 1985 Tour de Corse-winning Renault 5 Turbo stands as a defining moment in Renault’s rally heritage. Its presence at Goodwood highlights the origins of the Turbo nameplate, creating a powerful connection between one of Renault’s most celebrated competition cars and its electric successor.

Renault’s Formula 1 legacy further strengthens that connection. The Renault RS10, which will run dynamically on the hillclimb, marked a turning point in motorsport history as the first turbocharged Formula 1 car to win a Grand Prix, a breakthrough that reshaped the sport’s technical direction and cemented Renault’s reputation for innovation in Formula 1.

Joining it will be the iconic Renault R25 Formula 1 car that powered Fernando Alonso to the first of his two World Championship titles in 2005. Famous for its distinctive blue and yellow livery and the ear-splitting shriek of its 3.0-litre naturally-aspirated V10 engine, it remains one of the most revered cars in modern motorsport history.

Renault’s electric icons and the next generation
Alongside its performance and heritage display, Renault will showcase the breadth of its next-generation electric range, reinforcing how its innovation continues to translate into the everyday.

The stand will feature the multi-award-winning Renault 5 E-Tech electric and Renault 4 E-Tech electric, together with the new Renault 4 E-Tech electric ‘Plein Sud’, which introduces an electrically operated canvas roof that opens at the touch of a button or via voice control, for an open-air driving experience that maintains refinement when closed.

Also making its Goodwood debut is the Renault Twingo E-Tech electric, offering an early insight into Renault’s future approach to accessible electric mobility. Designed for urban use, it combines compact dimensions with a targeted starting price below £20,000, a WLTP range of up to 163 miles and features including One Pedal driving and OpenR Link with Google built-in.

Hillclimb appearances across the event will be undertaken by Arthur Ferrière and David Prasch, both experienced development and test drivers with extensive backgrounds in high-performance vehicle engineering and chassis development.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed takes place from Thursday 9^th to Sunday 12^th July, set against the spectacular backdrop of Goodwood House in West Sussex.
