to hit 100km/h in about six seconds. That most powerful standard Twizy has a top speed of 80km/h (50mph).
The concept has two electric motors. The standard 17hp unit from the Twizy 80 is still in the car in addition to the 80hp KERS. When the KERS is in use, the concept has a top speed of 110km/h (68.35mph).
The KERS unit is made up of an electric motor, lithium-ion batteries and a control unit. The batteries provide enough boost for the KERS to run for 14 seconds, and the system weighs 30kg (66lb). Its batteries also require liquid cooling to keep cool.
Renault Sport had to remove the rear seat to fit the KERS, which means that the Twizy F1 Concept is a single-seater. The KERS unit is visible inside a transparent housing in the rear.
