What Would Everyday Cars Look Like As F1 Racers?

Ever wondered what a regular street car would look like if it was converted to a Formula One car? Probably not but that hasn’t stopped an Australian insurance company from creating a number of renderings depicting just that.

Budget Direct has dropped a series of impressive renderings showing the Toyota Prius, Tesla Model S, Subaru WRX, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Porsche 911, Audi R8, Ford Mustang, Smart ForTwo and Jeep Wrangler as F1 cars and adorned with all the crazy aerodynamic components you’d expect.

Starting with the Prius, it adopts wheels and a rear wing similar to those used by 2017-spec F1 cars and thanks to the Castrol livery, looks like a proper racing car. Shame it doesn’t have a powertrain even remotely suitable for one though.

Perhaps our favorite creations are the Audi R8 and Smart-based F1 cars. The Audi adopts a set of huge wheels and pairs them with an aggressive front wing, enlarged side air intakes, a prominent roof scoop and a huge rear wing. Similarly, the Smart looks the part, particularly because of the Williams-inspired paint scheme.
