The Renault Espace F1 is one of the most extreme automotive concepts ever created, combining a family MPV with Formula 1 technology. Developed by Renault in collaboration with Matra, it was built to celebrate the anniversary of the Espace model—but quickly became much more than a simple show car.
The vehicle features a mid-mounted Formula 1 V10 engine producing over 700 horsepower, delivering extraordinary performance. Its acceleration is astonishing, reaching 0–100 km/h in under 3 seconds, making it comparable to modern supercars.
Visually, the Espace F1 is a unique blend of a minivan body and racing car elements. Wide bodywork, massive wheels, aerodynamic components and a racing chassis transform it into something entirely different from a standard MPV.
Although it was never intended for production, it became a legendary concept among car enthusiasts and motorsport fans.
The Hot Wheels HW Starting Grid series highlights vehicles connected to racing and performance.
The 6/10 marking indicates its position within the series, while 99/250 shows its place in the yearly lineup.
At 1:64 scale, the model stands out due to its unusual proportions and aggressive styling.
For collectors, this Hot Wheels Renault Espace F1 – HW Starting Grid – 1:64 is a unique piece representing one of the most creative and extreme automotive concepts ever built.
