Renault’s picks the Twizy to 'showcase' F1 technology

    Ha ha. Total ridiculousness. But would love to give it a go.
    The French automaker — which has won the F1 constructor’s and driver’s championships twice as a manufacturer and has provided engines to the likes of Red Bull Racing — inexplicably festooned the lowly Twizy with all manner of F1 frippery, including a front splitter, side pods and rear wing.

    It’s nothing we haven’t seen on Honda Civics for years. Ramping the absurdity up to 11, Renault Sport added tires and wheels from its Formula 2 cars and fitted the interior with a single carbon fiber race bucket and the button-laden steering wheel of a Formula Renault 3.5 series racer.

    So why would we possibly want to drive it? KERS.

    The result is a Twizy that can hit 60 mph in the same amount of time as the automaker’s quickest road machine – the Mégane Renaultsport 265 hot hatch – which clocks in around six seconds.

    Not bad, but I prefer the Espace F1. School run has never been as much fun!
