The reborn R5 Turbo gets 536bhp, a massive 3,540lb ft of torque and a rally style handbrake

THE RENAULT 5 TURBO 3E APPEARS TO be getting angrier, and... actually we quite like it when it's angry. Because since it first burst onto the scene in a haze of tyre smoke and EV squeal, it's grown from 500bhp to 536bhp.

More than that, it's able to pump out a whopping 3,540lb ft of torque, which is a) enough to give it a blistering 0-62mph time of under 3.5 seconds, but mostly b) downright terrifying.
