Renault Twizy F1 - The Union of Opposites

This study Renault Twizy F1 adopts a highly
inspired from Formula 1 models

Despite its rear-wheel drive, the Twizy will display little relationship with Formula 1. Except when it is of a variety of single-seater racing, for the purposes of a concept without a future.

At Renault, it is customary for the most unlikely weddings. You may be the Espace F1 remember, this sage who swallowed a minivan V10 Formula 1? A feast for the eyes as for the ears. Today, it is the Twizy following a similar approach ... However, with less conviction.
Rappaport curates a small trolling motor, much quieter than the 2.4 naturally aspirated V8 used by F1 teams Renault partners. Also much less powerful, despite the presence of a second electric motor in place of the rear seat, which can add 80 hp to 17 hp main unit for 13 seconds. A "recovery system kinetic energy" inspired by F1 usurps its name somewhat because there is no thermal mechanical support.

The spoiler and rear diffuser are not in lace

Speed ??range from 80 to 110 km / h, acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in six seconds: this study is significantly better than the standard model, but remains light years of F1. To fully justify its affiliation with the discipline-queen, this Twizy Renault Sport F1 has mainly focused on its extravagant look ... and humor! Grand extractor incorporating a light rain, a rear spoiler that extends from floor to ceiling, front blade garbage collector, mini mirrors and underbody sharp ... aerodynamic range is worthy of a car. The large private slick fender and wheel oval with multiple buttons that can display information from the telemetry tires, also addressed a nod to the frames of Formula 1 drivers. But Twizy Renault Sport F1 does not look great to win the world championship, even if the chassis has received care Renault Sport, as the standard model.

Private slick fender tires accentuate affiliation with F1 ... and the offbeat nature of this machine

The Twizy is a real car ... because the rear seat is replaced by a powerful electric motor

Unlike Formula 1 that inspired this study Twizy is only driven by the electricity fairy
