Oh this is very tasty, I love it. What I like about Jonny is he tells me what I want to know, I don't care about how big a bottle it will carry or if there are some hard plastics, how does it run, and as to electric how far it goes on a charge. All the things Jonny tells me.

So far, Alpine's sound implementation is by far the best one I've heard. It's nothing like the dumb, gimmicky fake engine noise with fake shifting gears we get with other manufacturers. They've basically just given this car the voice of a Renault. I definitely think this is the way to go.

We down-under are waiting patiently for advice that we will receive to A5 let alone the Alpine version; head's up Renault, let us know so I can place a deposit and wait in anticipation for a little more of the French divineness. Full confession - I've owned many Renault and Peugeot cars and would like to again.

The price difference isn;t actually that big. Yes, the regular Renault 5 starts from 25.000. But that is the base base version, regular ones with a big battery are 31-32000 and up? Pulls it a lot closer to the A290.

Agree. I find the 35K€ price tag of the "all options basic version" hard to justify when this iteration is so much better for just a bit more. This is a car I would buy to keep forever & upgrade regularly when EV tech makes progress. To commute in the city 30 kms per day, the cheap 25K€ is good enough.

The technical upgrades sound fantastic, but think a RenaultSport 5 somewhere in between, with the mechanicals and wider track but style and simplicity is what it should really be. It's taken away some of the thoughtfulness in the 5 that's so appealing and replaced it with 'sporty' bling. The A110 looks so fantastic because it flows and doesn't have wings and angles all over it after all.

Alpine is the brand I'm most enthusiastic about and really hope this car does well, so we see a lot more Alpine models asap. Going into the future we really need brands focused on the nuances of driving pleasure beyond speed and noise. I'm sure this will handle beautifully, I'm only unsure about the ride on those 19" wheels over our terrible roads in the UK, hopefully it can manage to capture some of the compliancy of the A110, which I'm hoping will be a defining factor of all Alpines. I believe there will be a 270bhp AWD version in the future using the E7A motor. I can't wait for the reviews and the chance to get to drive one myself.

It's not a GT turbo without a small turbo charged petrol engine. They're just riding on the glory of a real car.

I love the channel I like you a person alot Johnny but I just can't share your enthusiasm for EVs and the problem is neither do the other 80 percent of car enthustiasts I'd rather our hobby die with dignity than continue on watered down.

But your hobby doesn't need to 'die'. What's wrong with appreciating all types of car? Some EVs are good, some piston cars are good. Some people would benefit from using an EV daily, and it could in fact accelerate the appreciation and market for weekend petrol classics.

@TheLateBrakeShow I can't disagree with you there, I can appreciate they have their place, and if things were different and the outcome was that, we could all choose to drive what we wanted but as we are seeing they are deliberately trying to stop us driving which given the current route may put a nail in our coffins altogether. I have huge respect, and I enjoy all your car barn finds and collection videos they are absolutely awesome. You cater for everyone on here, so keep up the good work. Alot of people respect you as a car journalist which can't be said for the likes of Quentin Wilson who looks to just be willing to see the end of classic cars and instead taking hand outs to push the agenda. I hope I don't cause any offence to yourself but that's just my feeling on the situation and I say that as one of the biggest petrol heads that exists from performance cars to offshore powerboats they are everything I live for why I am so passionate when it may come down to losing engines.

@TheLateBrakeShow I was actually going to contact you at some point too I have a Nissan March Super Turbo with really cool rally, Nissan and Nismo history thats never been on the road but used in group n spec, the car needs full restoration one day in the next year I'm about to move house the cars not at my address its in a garage 4 miles away when I move to a house with a garage, I'm hoping to pull it to pieces and start doing it I was hoping you may be interested when I drag it out in doing some kind of barn find. I only want to feature it when I know I'm definitely starting the car, but that seemed like the best opportunity. Not sure if it's cool enough for a feature but I've got magazines with it on rally stages the Nissan plant up in Sunderland used it for promotion, a famous Japanese racing drivers son imported another one on the same ship which was done to group A spec and I have a video interview with one of the marketing guys at Nissan who picked it up from the docks in 1990. I believe it to be the first Super Turbo into the UK. Just think its story deserves to be told it's very long-winded. I've got my own channels on social media which I'd like to use when I start doing this car this is just my account I have the subscription on for the no adverts 🤣 poor boy industries is my KZbin and Instagram. Cheers for the messages

All in all kerb weight is pretty good! Definitely feels like they're sitting on a hyper AWD version for a later date.

Looks a decent enough modern interpretation........but as soon as EV is mentioned in what is supposed to be a recreation of a great hot hatch, I'm out.

There's too many gimmicks. Nothing wrong with gimmicks, but when the cost is passed down to the customer I feel its out of touch. It should be an option to add the glass "mountain topology" thing or the fake fog lights.

It would look exactly like the same as the R5 if it didn’t have the foglights 😂

I mean, it's a premium brand remix of a Renault. If you want a down to earth version, the original Renault 5 exists for £10k less. And also looks like it's going to be great.

Serious question: I have been seeing a trend of the smaller the battery the slower the charging speed. 50KWh batteries seldom get charging over 100kw. I have been dabbling in EVs since 2013 and apart from slightly thicker cables and different controller these cars could get 125 to 150 kw without much mark up. My thoughts are because of the smaller battery you need to charge more often so you want to reduce that time. Maybe I am missing something though… Our Jeep Appendage (I daren’t call it an Avenger) has the same set up 11KW AC and 100 KW DC.

That's just a limitation of the technology. If you have a bigger battery each cell charges slower, so you can pump up the speed. It's the same reason why you can't charge your phone at 100KW

Ffs…..i really thought the 5 GT Turbo was actually returning from the title…..but it’s an EV, not a turbo, so it’s not returning…. Its just another ev hatch back….yawn🙄
