The electric vehicle world has found an unlikely new frontier: the Lego table. A British fan has constructed a highly detailed Lego model of the Renault 5 Turbo 3E, the French automaker's fully electric, retro-inspired sports concept — and did so before the production car is even available to buy.
The build caught Renault's attention in the best possible way. The company was so impressed that it is now officially backing the fan's effort to have the model recognised and produced as a commercial Lego set, giving the campaign a significant boost.
The route to an official product runs through the Lego Ideas platform, where fan-submitted designs can earn a review by Lego if they reach 10,000 supporters. Renault's public endorsement is expected to accelerate that milestone considerably, raising real prospects of the Turbo 3E appearing on toy-store shelves.
The Renault 5 Turbo 3E draws on the iconic legacy of the original 1980s Renault 5 Turbo rally car, reimagined with a fully electric powertrain and modern performance styling. With the real vehicle's launch still pending, the Lego collaboration has already generated widespread buzz among EV fans and brick-building communities alike.
