Renault Espace F1. Driven by Eric Bernard 1995.

Description

This was on a old VHS tape I had recorded in 1995 from the Discovery Channel. I have cleaned up the audio & cropped the video. In 1995, Renault displayed a show car called the Espace F1 (created by Matra) to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the Espace and Renault's involvement in Formula One racing. It was based on a V10-powered Williams Formula 1 racing car with an Espace J63 body reinforced with lightweight carbon-fibre instead of the glass fibre of the standard model. The Renault-Williams engine powered it from 0200 km/h (0124 mph) in 6 seconds, and helped by the carbon-ceramic brakes, it did 0270 km/h (0168 mph) and back to 0 in under 600 metres (1969 ft). This version of the Espace was featured in the driving simulator, Gran Turismo 2.
