Renault Espace F1

To celebrate the Espace's 10th anniversary, Renault and Matra built four Espace F1 concept cars. Behind the Espace MPV body they placed the entire rear subframe, suspension, and 800-hp 3.5-litre V10 from Renault's Formula 1 car. It could complete the 0-100 km/h sprint in 2.8 seconds — in a people-carrier.
