Milltek is set to launch a new widebody kit that brings Renault 5 Turbo 3 E styling cues to the Alpine A290 and the classic Renault 5. The kit aims to deliver the aggressive look of the costly Renault 5 Turbo 3 E at a fraction of the price.
Affordable Styling Upgrade for Alpine A290 and Renault 5
The Renault 5 Turbo 3 E packs 533bhp but comes with a hefty price tag, starting at £135,000 and escalating beyond £200,000 with options. Milltek’s new bodykit offers a cost-effective alternative by channeling the design spirit of the original 5 Maxi Turbo for just £2,000.
Milltek’s kit is compatible with the Alpine A290 and even the standard Renault 5, offering a widebody makeover that includes:
- Front and rear arch extensions
- Sideburns extending below the headlights
- New charging flap
- Rear spoiler
- Side skirts
- Updated foglights (Alpine A290 only)
Launch and Availability
The kit was revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, with production slated for Autumn 2024. Milltek describes the bodykit as a limited-edition offering, designed by a team passionate about Group B rally heritage.
Kev Hall, Milltek’s Technical Operations Manager, said the project was driven by enthusiasm for the Renault 5’s rally legacy, with a great deal of work done under a tight deadline around the festival.
Why It Matters
Milltek’s widebody kit provides fans of the Renault 5 Turbo 3 E style a chance to enjoy its bold, rally-inspired look without the extreme cost. For Alpine A290 owners and classic Renault 5 enthusiasts, this affordable upgrade can significantly boost visual appeal while celebrating a beloved motorsport icon.
