Track-Friendly French Eco Cars

The Renault Twizy F1 is Packed with Race-Ready Technology

— April 26, 2013 — Autos
The reality is that the Renault Twizy F1 will never win any pink slips in the underground European street racing scene. However, the latest creation from Renault Sport, the motorsport arm of the French automaker, is still worth a look. Renault Sport took its F1 technology and put it into the Twizy, an electric commuter car more suited for driving down the street and back than tearing up the track.

The resulting Renault Twizy F1 has a fiercer look than its commuter-only counterpart and a surprising 0 to 60 time. A kinetic energy recovery system (KERS), similar to the ones used by the F1 teams Renault Sport supplies, helps the Twizy F1 go from 0 to 60 in six seconds, or as quick as the company' fastest production car (top speed is only 68 mph). Other unique additions to the Twizy include a steering wheel from a Formula Renault 3.5 and a rebuilt chassis.
Trend Themes
1. Electric Commuter with F1 Technology - Electric commuter vehicles are being integrated with Formula One (F1) technology through the use of kinetic energy recovery systems (KERS) to improve acceleration and speed.
2. Revamped Chassis on Commuter Cars - Automakers are incorporating rebuilt F1 chassis technology into commuter cars, providing drivers with faster and more responsive vehicles.
3. Motorsport-inspired Urban Vehicles - Automakers are drawing inspiration from motorsports to create urban vehicles featuring track-inspired design elements and performance upgrades.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Manufacturing - Automotive manufacturers can focus on integrating F1 technology like KERS to commuter cars to create more efficient, powerful vehicles with improved acceleration and speed.
2. Motorsports - Motorsport companies can partner with automotive manufacturers and integrate their high-performance technology into urban vehicles.
3. Urban Transportation - Urban transportation companies can incorporate track-inspired design elements to appeal to a wider market of consumers beyond simple commuters.
