The Renault Filante Record 2025 pays homage to three historic Renault records, with the front round headlights a hint of the 40 CV des Records of the 1920s, the wheels are set outwards like a 1934 Nervasport and the arches are a reference to the 1956 turbine-powered Etoile Filante.
The Filante Record 2025 is 5.12 metres long and 1.71 metres wide, but weighs just 1,000kg - which sounds almost fantastic for an electric car. The 87kWh battery accounts for 600kg of the total weight, while the remaining 400kg is the ultra-lightweight body made from a combination of aluminium, steel and carbon fibre. Renault engineers used artificial intelligence and 3D printing to optimise the weight.

To reduce energy consumption, special 19-inch Michelin tyres are used, which reduce rolling resistance by 20%. Renault claims that the battery here is not the same as in the production Scenic E-Tech, although their capacities are the same. The cells are integrated directly into the battery pack without intermediate modules. This technology reduces the weight of the unit, as well as optimising its form factor and headroom.
Renault Filante Record 2025 trials are scheduled for the first half of 2025.
