Renault has peered into the near-future once again, this time to present to us what it sees as the future of Formula 1 in 2027.
The R.S. 2027 Vision concept is what Renault predict to see in F1 in a decade and for once isn’t a 3D render as the folks over at TopGear.com have actually seen and even touched it!
Featuring a turbocharged V6 engine making use of hybrid power, a KERS system operating at almost five times better than the ones currently in use, incredibly high capacity batteries and even four-wheel drive, resulting in an output of 1340bhp.
Weighing just 600kg, thanks to eco-friendly 3D printed components, the 2027 F1 car-to-be is an engineering masterpiece. Also designed to protect the driver from head injuries, the 2027 Vision concept F1 car includes a transparent polycarbonate cockpit to further increase aerodynamics.
The car’s wheels include LED lights to show the driver’s position, energy status and more, whereas the steering wheel will be an even more technologically advanced piece of equipment to allow the drivers to have many more connections.
This new form of F1 sounds very interesting indeed! Be sure to read more over on TopGear.com for a deeper insight into Renault’s futuristic vision.
