Renault and Williams race team created the Espace F1 in 1995 to celebrate their F1 championships and the 10th anniversary of the Espace. The wild creation features a carbon fiber body over carbon fiber and aluminum honeycomb chassis. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.5 L V10 from the Williams FW14 race car sitting in the middle of the van between the rear seats. The motor produces 800 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque and sends it through a six-speed sequential transmission. Renault states the van is capable of 0-62 mph in 2.8 sec, 0-120 mph in 6.9 sec, and a top speed of 194 mph. Watch former Renault rally driver Jean Ragnotti pilot the van up Goodwood hill in 2004.
