Just picture it: an electri Twizy, with front splitter, side-pods, a rear wing and a diffuser complete with an F1-style rain light, as well as a Formula One-type steering wheel. Add to that, F1 tyres, and KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), that you can find on F1 engines (Redbull racing, Williams, Caterham, Lotus), which instantly Twizy&rsquo;s power output six-fold to reach almost 100hp ! From standstill to 100kph, Twizy RSF1 is catapulted to Mégane R.S. speed, Renault&rsquo;s highest-performing road car. Picture all that, and you get this pimped hulky concept-car, that will make everyone smile !</p><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" alt="twizy-sport-F1" src="http://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/blog/fr/2013/04/twizy-sport-F1.jpg" width="500" height="300" /></p><h1>What a funny idea !</h1><p>How did Renault come up with this project? The idea came from <strong>Renault Sport F1</strong>, who wanted to communicate to a wider audience the savoir-faire it has built up in the realm of electric power thanks to KERS which became a part of the sport in 2009. Let&rsquo;s not forget that the FIA is implemeting new engine regulations for the 2014 F1 season, to link high-level racing to cars built for the road, by including electric technologies for instance.</p><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" alt="twizy-f1-profil" src="http://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/blog/fr/2013/04/twizy-f1-profil.jpg" width="500" height="300" /></p><p>But in the end&#8230;why not?</p><p>Remember in 1994, when we released an <strong>Espace F1</strong>, a prototype equiped with a 820hp RS5 V10 3,500cc 40-valve engine? It was designed by Renault and Matra, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Espace&rsquo;s launch.</p><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" alt="espace-F1" src="http://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/blog/fr/2013/04/espace-F1.jpg" width="500" height="300" /></p><h1>Calendar</h1><p>If you want to see this unusual car for yourself, here are the next dates of the Twizy Renault Sport F1 « tour ».</p><p>27-28 April : WSR Aragon, Motorland</p><p>11-19 May: Barcelona motor show</p><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" alt="twizy-F1-back" src="http://www.renaultgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/blog/fr/2013/04/twizy-F1-back.jpg" width="500" height="700" /></p>
