Renault Filante (concept)

The Renault Filante was a fully electric concept car unveiled at the Rétromobile in Paris in early February 2025, its name referring to the Étoile Filante, the gas turbine-powered record-breaking car of 1956. It is 5.12 m long and 1.19 m high, and its design is meant to evoke aircraft, with an upward-opening dome over the driver's cabin and exposed screws, and paintwork that looks blue or violet depending on the light. It is built from an aluminium alloy and carbon fibre reinforced plastic and weighs only 1000 kg despite a 600 kg, 87 kWh battery, runs on narrow 19-inch wheels fitted with very low rolling resistance Michelin tires, and has brake-by-wire and steer-by-wire.
