RENAULT

Renault selected a show-stopping selection of electrified cars to wow the crowds at this year’s sell-out Goodwood Festival of Speed.

For the first time in the UK, the Renault R5 Turbo 3E showcased its motorsport credentials up the

1.16-mile hillclimb. Identified by its wide-flared carbon-fibre bodywork, racing-derived slick tyres, and aggressive aerodynamics, the R5 Turbo 3E pays homage to the rally-ready R5 Turbo 2, which turns 40 this year.

The new Renault 5 Prototype was also on display ahead of its launch in 2024. Electrified and made for modern drivers, the Renault 5 EV is built to have a new twist on the original, updating the iconic hatchback with a bold, contemporary look and an advanced pure-electric drivetrain.

Polestar was one of the many highlights of this year’s Festival of Speed, with the Swedish manufacturer debuting new products including Polestar 3, the limited production Polestar 2 BST edition 230, and the upgraded model year 2024 Polestar 2 which introduces more range, greater efficiency, rear-wheel drive, faster charging, and design enhancements.

The latest Polestar 5 prototype was also presented, showcasing the development progress that has been made in the year since the very first prototype was unveiled at the Festival in 2022. The Polestar electric roadster concept returns with a different colour scheme this year, previewing Polestar
