Twizy Renault Sport F1 - urban vehicle inspired by F1 racing

On the Renault Twizy, a compact model for urban designers have developed different models Twizy is a very unique design and multi-purpose vehicles such as fire protection for the Twizy French countryside. But recently, Renault has taken inspiration from F1 cars to turn the tiny Twizy them into a form of "urban racing" with the full name Twizy is Renault Sport F1.

        Renault admits this is just a concept version "designed for fun" in the electric vehicle development program of the company, and to "bridge the gap between technology and the F1 car commercial." According to Eric Diemert, Director General design of the Renault sports cars said: "Twizy Renault Sport F1 is simply a smart car combines the original path with innovative technologies are taken directly from Formula 1 racing car. Our goal confirms Twizy's fun using the technology of F1 cars to demonstrate the "personality" of it. With the change in both appearance and performance, the results are pretty special. "

        Similar to a real F1 car, Twizy Renault Sport F1, but is a real racing car seat, with the front diffuser F1-style, adjust the flow of air when run at higher speeds, the diffusion after the light rain, and a rear spoiler to increase downforce car down the road as fast. All of which makes the car look like something hybrid robot Wall-E and an F1 car.

        Twizy Renault Sport F1 is equipped with dual electric motors to bring performance to the car. But the remarkable thing is to remove the back seat instead kinetic energy recovery system KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), which is used on the Renault F1 racing. The KERS system that integrates the car's increased weight 91kg, up to 564kg.

        Twizy KERS system in F1 has 2 operating modes. In recovery mode, vehicle maintenance capacity 17 kW, while deceleration, kinetic energy is recovered and stored in the KERS system. In the "increase capacity", the stored energy in the flywheel KERS to go to 36,000 rpm / min, generating 80 more horsepower to the engine power combined with the car's power up to nearly 6 times, 97 horsepower. The power that helps the car accelerate from 0-100km / h in 6 seconds and reach a maximum speed at 109km / h. Drivers can activate the KERS energy system by pressing 2 buttons on the steering wheel at the same time, just like with the game on the PS3 because the steering wheel of the car is similar to the F1-style steering wheel.

        Twizy Renault Sport F1 will be on display at the big events this year, beginning of the press conference at the Renault World Series race in under Aragon, Spain, followed by the Barcelona Motor Show.
