While it looks mighty with its monstrous arches, vented bonnet and stripped out interior, there\u2019s no getting away from the fact that Renault\u2019s 533bhp 5 Turbo 3 E<\/a> is a little bit pricey. Heck, it\u2019s a little electric hatchback that costs \u00a3135,000 before options, and with a few boxes ticked you\u2019re looking at a bill for over \u00a3200,000. Yikes.<\/p>\n

So, what if you want a little bit of the look for one per cent of the price? Well, Milltek\u2019s new bodykit costs \u00a32,000 and is \u201cchannelling the vibes and design cues of the original Renault 5 Maxi Turbo\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And it\u2019s not just for the hot Alpine A290<\/a> either, because apparently the same wacky widebody look can also be applied to the standard Renault 5<\/a>. Poor thing.<\/p>\n

The kit includes the front and rear arch extensions, the funky little sideburns that extend under the headlights, a new charging flap, a rear spoiler, side skirts and updated foglights for the Alpine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, we\u2019re told that production is scheduled for Autumn this year and that it\u2019ll be \u201cstrictly limited-edition\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Group B enthusiasts, this was on the drawing board the day after we saw the first Renault 5,\u201d says Technical Operations Manager Kev Hall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAfter months of hard work under a considerable Festival of Speed deadline, the Design team has delivered something truly special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thoughts, folks?<\/p>\n
