The era of the electric car is an opportunity for major automotive brands to reconnect with their glorious past marked by records established by prototypes that have become legendary.
Reference to Renault's iconic prototypes
The spectacular design (5.12 meters long and 1.19 meters high) of the Record 2025 feedback is in the history of the diamond brand, with references to the 1920s, Nervasport (1934) prototypes (1934 ) and Star Filante (1956). Renault also explains that he was inspired by aeronautics to optimize air flows. The whole gives the Record 2025 turnover of the likely hunting aircraft on wheels.

The use of carbon fiber made it possible to combine rigidity and weight gain. Thus, the Record 2025 shooting remains under the symbolic bar of the ton, its battery alone weighing 600 kg. The chassis combines aluminum, steel and carbon in order to guarantee the mechanical resistance necessary at high speed. Certain structural elements have been manufactured by 3D printing using scalmylloy, an aluminum alloy with high resistance.
A cockpit of fighter plane
On board the electric racing car, Spartan and futuristic atmosphere. The pilot is installed in the semi-drained position, as in formula one. Faced with him, a steering wheel that is akin to the handlebars of a motorcycle whose handles control the acceleration, braking and steering using the technologies “Steer by Wire” and “Brake by Wire”.

The latter replace tinglery, cables and steering column with fully electronic management. There is no longer a direct physical connection between the steering wheel, the brake pedals and the wheels. In the center of the steering wheel, a cylindrical screen for the display of driver data.
Topological and AI optimization
Renault has used computer simulations based on artificial intelligence in order to practice what he calls a ” Topological optimization ». This method makes it possible to design mechanical parts while retaining the material where it is essential to support specific mechanical constraints. The key, a weight gain without compromise on solidity.
Michelin engineers worked on materials, design and architecture of the 2025 Record shooting tire. According to Renault, “ These tires once again postpone the thresholds of rolling resistance. They offer a reduced coefficient by almost 40 %, close to 4 kg/ton in conditions of use of the vehicle where the tire of a conventional vehicle has a coefficient of approximately 6.5 kg/ton. »»
The amateurs present at the Rétromobile Salon in Paris from February 5 to 9, 2025 will have the chance to discover the Renault Filante Record 2025. After that, it will tackle an efficiency record during the first half.
