This minivan celebrates ten years of marriage fruiting Renault - Matra

a decade ago, Renault and Matra opened the field of the Espace minivan. Now, to celebrate this anniversary, they conceived a true four-seater Formula 1. In it, combine a special chassis and body with the 3.5-liter V10 engine triple world champion in Formula 1 with Williams. One experiment was the V10 in central rear position. Then, Espace reinforced the floor with a central tunnel carbon fiber to transmit the power correctly (which is held in reserve). At its end is coupled the motor - box FW14 chassis derived from Formula 1. The gearbox, semi-automatic six-speed sequential command has the steering wheel and throttle is electronic.

The huge air intakes in the front make it look very aggressive. With four seats, reaches 300 km / h

The front suspension is specifically designed and approved by the engineers at Williams. It needed to expand the trail (2715 mm against 2,580 mm of standard vehicle) to accommodate Racing Michelin tires (26/65 x 18 "front and 36/71 x 18" rear), mounted on 18-inch Ronal rims. Espace F1 clearance is 100 mm, and its bottom is covered by a flat surface with extractor, repeating the aerodynamics of F1. For proper engine cooling radiators on the front and have fans to cool at low speeds or when the vehicle is stationary. With the 1,100 kg in weight, the Espace F1 offers performance very close to a competition monoposto. Accelerates from 0 to 200 km / h in 6.3 seconds, reaching 300 km / h top speed and braking wonder: just 80 meters to go 300 to 70 km / h, with four discs of carbon.

The look of the Espace is naturally more aggressive at the important front air intakes to cool the engine and brakes. The fairing for the wheels, kevlar, is similar to the sidepods of F.1. A rear spoiler important markers, suggests that it will be used as as safety car for the Grand Prix F.1. Abound within composite materials. Four seats made of carbon fiber frame the V10, coated to reduce noise and temperature environments. The board is identical to the standard, but carbon is, as the door linings. However, this reflects what Espace F1 Matra and Renault have in common a passion for competition and innovation
