When EV ‘retrofit’ conversions were authorised in France, in 2020, Renault became interested and partnered with R-Fit, a pioneer in the field, to develop kits to convert an ICE model into an electric car. The kits were sold by the Méhari Club de Cassis and were subsequently homologated for use on the road. One of them was for the Renault 5: developing 30bhp and keeping the original gearbox, it offered a range of 80km.
In 2022, Renault seized a double opportunity – on the one hand, its new partnership with the Roland Garros tennis tournament, and on the other, the 50th anniversary of the Renault 5 – to convert a few R5 GTLs into electric cars for use as official shuttles to transport players and members of the organising staff. The interior design was entrusted to Renault Design, who selected fabrics and materials regardless of cost. This five-door example, finished in an extremely stylish dark blue, has a unique orange trim for the ‘petal’ seats, carpets, door cards and even the sun visors, with a dark blue headlining with a black pattern.
An elegant multi-coloured stripe runs along the top of the door cards. Externally, the body carries all the official markings of the tournament, while under the bonnet sits a working electric motor, with a badge on top marked ‘Renault 5, 50’. This is a great opportunity to acquire a version of the Renault 5 which is rare, exclusive and attractive, and, moreover, homologated for use on the road. Please note that the French title is under process and will be provided to the buyer as soon as possible. Comment: Crédit photos © Peter Singhof
