The Renault E-Tech Series (previously known as Renault Energy F1 and Renault R.E.) is a 1.6-liter, hybrid turbocharged V6 racing engine developed and produced by Renault Sport F1 in partnership with Mecachrome for the FIA Formula One World Championship.[2]
Renault Energy F1 was unveiled on 21 June 2013 during 2013 Paris Air Show in order to replace the outgoing Renault RS27 naturally-aspirated V8 engine after seven years of service.[3]
The Renault Energy F1-2014 was Renault's first-ever V6 hybrid turbocharged Formula One engine for the 2014 season.[4] The Renault Energy F1-2014 engine was developed by Renault with technical support from Mecachrome for design research & development, trackside support, engine arrangement, preparation, tune-up and engine maintenance. Renault Energy F1-2014 suffered reliability problems during pre-season testing.
