The early to mid 90s was a great era for Renault. With utter domination of F1 under their belt, they indulged in flights of fancy. The Espace F1 was a carbon fiber minivan constructed over the chassis and engine of a Williams F1 car. The Renault Sport Spider was a barebones, affordable mid-engined sports car in the purest sense. Does anyone know the story of the bike pictured?
Here's a fun French video all about the outrageous Espace F1, featuring one Alain Prost au volant:
I also love this weird paint scheme used for the launch of the racing version of the Spider:
And last but not least, here is awesome footage of French rally legend Jean Ragnotti, who demonstrates the rally capability of a bone stock Spider:
