For years, Renault has produced special editions of its Renault 5 model inspired by one of the biggest tennis tournaments in the world, Roland Garros. The same path was continued with the new electric version of this model, the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric.

The special edition will be offered in three body colors: Pearl White, Midnight Blue, Starry Black and Matt Slate Gray. Each car will be equipped with a Satin Black roof trimmed with chrome trim, featuring Roland Garros logos and a St. Andrew’s Cross pattern inspired by the stadium’s architecture. There are also 18-inch Ecrou Diamond Black wheels with Matt Slate Gray center caps.

Inside, the seats are covered in recycled textiles, inspired by the fabric used to make sports equipment. There’s also plenty of Roland Garros logos, even on the e-pop shifter shaped like a tennis racket handle. Also, the dashboard lighting displays the inscription “Roland Garros Paris” and pays homage to the clay surface of the court.

When it comes to the powertrain, the 40 kWh battery version is powered by an electric motor with 95 hp (71 kW) and 159 lb-ft (215 Nm) of torque or 120 hp (89 kW) and 166 lb-ft (225 Nm) of torque, which is enough to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 10 seconds. It weighs 1,350 kg. The slightly heavier version (1,450 kg) is equipped with a 52 kWh battery, and is powered by an electric motor with 150 hp (110 kW) and 181 lb-ft (245 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 7.5 seconds with a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph) and a range of 400 km.
