Electric hot hatches are few and far between. Models that spring to mind include the Abarth 500e, Cupra Born VZ, Mini John Cooper Works, and the lesser-known MG4 XPower. Renault wants to overshadow all of them—including its very own Alpine A290—with a ludicrously powerful iteration of the reborn 5. Yes, the Renault 5 Turbo is back, and just like the Porsche Taycan, it's an electric car with "Turbo" in its name. Confusing, I know.
