It stands out as the most expensive Renault in history … and it is already a success. The brand head at The Diamond has just announced on LinkedIn to have reached 500 reservations in “a few hours” after opening orders this Tuesday, April 22 for its R5 Turbo 3rd version, Ultraport of the New R5.
A model whose first deliveries are programmed in 2027 and that will benefit from very advanced technologies, particularly two rear engines to show a power of 540 horsepower. Enough to show a price that may seem delusional, “155,000 euros.” An amount that does not include any “option, accessories and customization choice,” the brand said in its press release.
25 million euros in renault
To be one of the first 500 elected officials of a total of 1,980 expected copies, it was necessary to take a receipt of reserve, against a deposit of 50,000 euros. A substantial advance, but shows a definitive interest of buyers and not a simple request for information.
Therefore, a rapid calculation allows Renault to reaped 25 million euros with this campaign. The financial part of development in this model that in particular must benefit from a carbon superstructure to be efficient in the circuit and an interior to a large extent.
An early orders campaign that can remember model 3. Tesla had in fact opened reservations for its unauded sedan just before its presentation in April 2017. In total, the US brand would have reached 500,000 early orders, with $ 1,000 (or euros for Europe) deposit, a colossal potential gobnce of $ 500 million … It is not too much to produce the necessary investment to produce this model, which was not thin, but it was not thin Thin, but it was not thin, but was not thin, but was not thin, but was not thin, but was not thin, but was not thin, but was not thin, but was not thin, but was not thin, but was not thin, but was not thin, but was not thin, but was not thin, but was not thin, but it was not thin. dimension.
But there is an even more surprising example in Tesla: the “New Roadster”. Presented in the form of a prototype in 2017, it is possible to reserve it from that date … and even today when the brand does not really communicate in its marketing initially planned by 2020 and which, however, officially remains on the agenda.
The deposit remains much higher than in model 3, with currently 4,000 euros to pay, then 39,000 euros within 10 days to confirm this reservation, or 43,000 euros in total ($ 50,000 in the United States).
A “guaranteed” price of Renault for the first reservations
If Tesla mentioned in 2017 a marketing price of the new Roadster between 200,000 and 250,000 dollars, it is no longer mentioned on the page to book it.
In Renault for the R5 Turbo 3RD, the first reserve coupons also allowed to guarantee this sale price at 155,000 euros. A rate presented as a “priced prices forecast from the vehicle, limited to the first 500 reservations of priority orders on the network, susceptible to modifications on the opening date of sales.”
Expected: This price could be taken into account before the model marketing in 2027. Enough to reserve this third turbo as soon as possible, also to be part of the chosen edition of the 1980 fortunate for this limited edition.
“The enthusiasm is palpable, like the application. Everything indicates that the 1,980 limited units are flying quickly, so reserve now to avoid disappointments!” Add the head of the Renault brand in its publication published on LinkedIn.

Fabrice Cambolive adds that, in addition to the 500 reservations, it is necessary to add 200 through the distributors network. Therefore, there would be 1,280, at least when this publication was published on April 25. It will be interesting to see how long, these third parties find makers.
Which also offers a pleasant indirect announcement for the R5 and more generally for Renault. This R5 Turbo 3rd is sold in Europe, where the brand concentrates most of its sales, but also in the Middle East, Japan or Australia. Unfortunately, the brand has rejected our request to know a little more about the countries of origin of the 500 buyers who reserved this “mini-supercar.”
To see if we will see R5 Turbo third in the streets of Doha in Qatar. The Renault local website highlights the model along with the least lush Koleos, Mégane, Arkana and The Duster, sold with the Renault brand and not dacia outside Europe.
