    Default Retro F1 Cars with Modern Design Flair

    I ran across this the other day and thought they were nice. The red one is one of my desktop photos as it is by far the sharpest one.

    Enjoy

    Much more attractive than the current crop.

    Now put v-10 non turbos in them at 3 liters and you will have some real fun.

    You mean an engine package that has some real possibility of developing something meaningful for street cars?? How wild is that?!!!

    P.S.
    NOBODY in their right minds is going to want their wife or child driving around in a car the may electrocute them when they step out of it. So forget seeing the KERS cars any time soon unless they solve that problem.

    Yeah, nobody would ever drive a hybrid (which is more accurately what the current-gen F1 cars are).

    Not even once has a driver been electrocuted while stepping from the car.

    IF there's no risk, then why do the F1 cars have the DANGER/SAFE lights up on the intakes to warn crew and track workers that it's safe or not safe to touch the car???

    If I understand correctly, the F1 systems use very high voltage when compared to the street hybrids. That is why they deliver electricity in mega joules
