Italian design company Fioravanti came to Geneva this year with its concept Formula One car, the FL1. With this year’s vehicle, Fioravanti wanted to build a car that not only adheres to current F1 regulations, but also presupposes future regulations, such as limiting turbulence, that would make for more overtaking in the sport. The idea is that if F1 was full of cars like the FL1, the race would be more exciting, and, therefore, more marketable.
The compact, aerodynamic FL1 was designed to house a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine. The Kinetic Energy Recovery System would also help to reduce fuel consumption. The front and rear wings are integrated into the body to provide down force and lessen aerodynamic drag at the wheels.
In keeping with the concept of the vehicle, Fioravanti suggests the return of active suspension use, and enacting a regulation that minimizes turbulence ten meters behind a vehicle.
