Renault has unveiled the Filante Record 2025, a groundbreaking electric demo car that embodies both its historic heritage and its aspirations for a greener future. Designed as a single-seater marvel, this streamlined vehicle is a testament to engineering excellence, designed to maximize energy efficiency with its 87 kWh battery, which matches the capacity of the Scenic E-Tech Electric. At 5.12 meters long, 1.19 meters tall, and weighing just 1,000 kilograms, the Filante is a triumph of aerodynamic design and lightweight construction. Paying homage to iconic record-breaking Renault models like the 40 CV des Records and Étoile Filante, it combines past achievements with present innovation for unprecedented efficiency. The car’s state-of-the-art features, such as steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire technologies, make it a laboratory on wheels, set to redefine electric vehicle standards.
Aesthetically and functionally inspired by aeronautics, the Filante Record 2025 boasts a monolithic, flowing design crafted to reduce drag to the bare minimum. Its aerodynamic fairings, high-performance wheel flanges, and elongated body contribute to seamless airflow and reduced energy consumption, with Michelin’s specially designed tyres completing the formula. Drawing design cues from Renault’s historic models, the vehicle also incorporates innovative lightweight materials such as Scalmalloy and advanced 3D-printed components. This meticulous approach not only honors Renault’s storied legacy but also enhances overall performance and energy efficiency, making the Filante a symbol of futuristic electric mobility.
The Filante Record 2025 is more than an engineering marvel; it is a beacon of Renault’s commitment to sustainable innovation. Its minimalist cockpit, inspired by aviation design, prioritizes driver comfort and functionality with materials like lightweight stretched canvas for its seat and a futuristic digital interface integrated into the steering wheel. Furthermore, its cell-to-pack battery architecture enhances energy efficiency while optimizing both space and weight. Slated to make its debut at the Rétromobile Motor Show in February 2025, Renault’s Filante Record 2025 aims to establish new efficiency benchmarks in the first half of the year, paving the way for greener and more advanced electric vehicles to come.
