Twizy Renault Sport F1 is a single-seater race car and is fitted with a front splitter, side-pods, a rear wing and a diffuser complete with an F1-style rain light. Together with spectacular look, the presence of Kinetic Energy Recovery System make it a high performance vehicle as well. The KERS system is identical to the solution used by Renault-powered Formula 1 race cars. The system instantly boosts power output six-fold to reach almost 100 horsepower and is capable to accelerate the car from 0 to 100kph as quickly as Renault's highest-performing road car, MeganeR.S.
Eric Diemert, Design Director, Renault Sport Range said that "Twizy Renault Sport F1 is a simple yet smart vehicle which combines original lines and advanced technology derived directly from Formula 1. Our objective was to reinforce Twizy’s ‘fun’ side by using F1 cues to express its personality. In terms of both its look and performance, the result is quite simply spectacular".
