The Spark-Renault SRT_01E made its first dynamic public appearance in Las Vegas, USA, in front of a crowd of technology fans at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The car was in the hands of Brazilian racing driver Lucas di Grassi who drove along the Las Vegas Strip before moving on to Mandalay Bay in the centre of the city.

 

The demonstration run was confirmation that the visionary idea of fully-electric single-seater race cars is today very much a reality to which Renault, as a technical partner, has made a significant contribution thanks not only to its winning record in motor racing but also to the lead it enjoys in the world of electric vehicles.

 

 

The electric racer, which was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2013, will race in the Formula E championship which begins in September. The FIA-sanctioned series will be held on street races in the centre of some of the largest cities in Europe, Asia and the Americas.
