To express the relationship with Formula 1 and the Renault Sport range has enabled Renault Sport F1 Renault Sport Technologies Design Twizy Renault Sport F1. Twizy Even if the forms differ greatly from single-seater racing car, you can see many echoes in the World Grand Prix. "Tarik Ait Said (Project Coordinator, Twizy Renault Sport F1) Performance Powers Twizy Renault Sport F1 KERS in use, will be used Renault cars in Formula 1 engine. KERS (system kinetic energy recovery) was developed to recover generated during a part of the kinetic energy of braking. Both Twizy Renault Sport F1 is equipped with two electric motors, the original engine, the Twizy 80 (17hp/13kW) grafted onto a F1-style KERS to transform the self-concept in a real pocket rocket with references exceptional performance. When activated the KERS power Twizy Renault Sport F1 immediately increased six times, from 17 to 97 hp (72 kW). KERS is equipped with its own battery, the charge / discharge very short. Since the speed of the main engine and KERS Twizy is 36,000 rpm and 10,000 rpm, respectively, the connection between the two was one of the main challenges of the project.

KERS system uses a lubricant pressure to the maximum resistance of bearing arrangements 36 000 rpm. Meanwhile, to prevent overheating of the KERS batteries, despite the restrictions to which it is exposed, Twizy Renault Sport F1 is equipped with a water cooling system. Both systems are existing solutions Renault Sport Technologies. Wheel Twizy Renault Sport F1 is directly derived from racing cars Formula Renault 3.5. The driver is the activation energy of the two blades mounted flywheel KERS stored simultaneously. For the public, show that the system has been activated, the rain in the integrated diffuser Twizy Renault Sport F1. This screen can be adjusted at the same time information about electronic systems Twizy F1 KERS and displayed. Twizy Renault Sport F1 is also equipped with a system of "RS recording monitor data for the new Megane RS and Clio RS 200 EDC This allows the driver a number of parameters related to performance in real time (0-50kph time control time 0-100kph from a standstill to 50 meters, 100 meters standing start time). Renault Sport F1 and Renault Sport Technologies have jointly convert KERS for use in the prototype Twizy Renault Sport F1 and then worked to refine the resulting package. Meanwhile, experts have brought Viry integration table expertise and experience KERS, including the battery, not to mention his experience Twizy engine.
