This is what Renault’s 2016 F1 car looks like
Renault this week unveiled its car for the 2016 Formula One season and, no matter where it comes on the track, it’s bound to attract attention.
The car, which will be piloted by Kevin Magnussen (a last minute replacement for the controversial Pastor Maldanado) and Britain’s Jolyon Palmer, looks achingly beautiful in black, with grey elements, and gold trim.
The new F1 car features the French marque’s existing R.E. 16 power unit, alongside an in-house manufactured chasis.
At the same time as it launched its new F1 car, Renault revealed a new strategy encompassing two pillars: Renault Sport Racing and Renault Sport Cars.
Renault Sport Racing will look after its racing activities, including the newly-created Renault Sport Formula One Team and Renault e.dams. Renault Sport Cars meanwhile will look after the development and commercialisation of the Renault Sport car portfolio, which includes the likes of the Mégane R.S. and Clio R.S
“Motorsports still spark the imagination of both enthusiasts and everyday drivers, and we are putting a comprehensive program in place today. Formula 1 is a big part of our efforts to boost awareness of Renault, particularly in markets where Renault is a newcomer, and will enhance the transfer of technologies from the track to our road cars,” said CEO Carlos Ghosn.
