Renault is not just bringing back the iconic Renault 5; it's ushering in a revival that extends beyond the sleek curves and modern features of the car. The French marque is redefining the automotive merchandise game, offering a range of items that go beyond the ordinary, making the Renault 5 experience truly unique.
One of the standout pieces from Renault's merchandise lineup is the Player5 Portable Cassette Player. Reminiscent of the previous-generation Renault 5 era, this aluminum-crafted player features headphone and microphone jacks, Bluetooth capabilities, and a play/record function. Priced at €180 (approximately $195), it comes with a rechargeable battery lasting up to 10 hours and includes a blank 60-minute cassette. What sets it apart is the inclusion of a pencil for rewinding—a nod to the cassette tape era that adds a touch of nostalgia for those who remember the analog days.
For enthusiasts of a different kind, Renault offers a nearly 150-inch slot car race track. Priced at €115 (about $125), this set includes 1:43 scale models of the 2021 Renault 5 prototype and the Turbo 3E concept. Both models come equipped with working headlights and a turbo function, elevating the slot car racing experience to a new level.
Safety takes a stylish turn with a €200 ($217) helmet featuring a built-in brake light and turn signals. This high-tech accessory not only enhances rider visibility but also adds a dash of futuristic flair to the rider's ensemble.
Renault's merchandise lineup extends beyond the expected, offering a range of premium lifestyle products. For those with a passion for outdoor games, a €110 ($119) set of three stainless steel pétanque balls is available. For cycling enthusiasts, there's a meticulously crafted bicycle priced at €2,700 ($2,930), while surfers can ride the waves with a €3,000 ($3,250) surfboard. The ultimate leisure experience comes in the form of a Bonzini foosball table, weighing 176 pounds (80 kilograms) and carrying a price tag of €4,200 ($4,500).
Renault's commitment to making the Renault 5 revival an unforgettable experience goes beyond the car itself. With an extensive range of merchandise, from nostalgic cassette players to innovative safety gear and luxury leisure items, Renault invites enthusiasts to embrace the spirit of the iconic model in every aspect of their lives. As the automotive world eagerly awaits the official launch of the Renault 5, the brand's dedication to creating a complete lifestyle around this iconic model is evident, making it more than just a car—it's a lifestyle statement.
