Renault go the whole hog...

"...F1 Espace used a lightweight carbonfibre F1-style chassis fitted
with an Espace body. It was fitted with a 3.5-litre, Renault RS5 V10 F1
engine, as used at the time by Williams F1 and also used the Williams
semi-automatic gearbox and braking systems..."

What I always though was a great pity was that the Cosworth DFV was never
fitted to a production road car. OK I realise cost was a factor and it would
have had to be "productionised". But Lotus could have produced a fabulous
car!

I note that someone has fitted the Indy Ford V8 in a Mustang and it looks
great!
