Space shuttle

This unique Renault Espace was a Matra design department styling exercise. The concept was imagined and conceived in 1994 by engineer Gérard Ducarouge, who had the brilliant idea to install in this monospace, so popular since its launch 10 years earlier, the same Renault V10 that was so dominant in the Grand Prix.

The four-time World Champion Alain Prost, freshly crowned in 1993, drove the racing car (picture-above) carrying some select VIP’s in the very noisy cockpit, because of the central rear position of the engine! (picture-below).
