Renault Filante (concept)
2025 electric concept vehicle
The Renault Filante is a fully electric concept car that was unveiled at the Rétromobile in Paris in early February 2025. The car's name is a reference to the Étoile Filante, a gas turbine-powered record-breaking car in 1956.
Overview
The Filante has a length of 5.12 m (16.8 ft) and a height of 1.19 m (3 ft 11 in). Its design is intended to evoke aircraft, featuring, for example, the upward-opening dome of the driver's cabin and exposed screws. The paintwork appears blue or violet depending on the light and viewing angle. Lightweight materials such as an aluminum alloy and carbon fiber reinforced plastic ("Carbon") were used in the car's construction. The seat consists of carbon fiber reinforced plastic supports and a canvas covering. As a result, the vehicle weighs only 1000 kg despite a 600 kg, 87 kWh battery. Michelin developed tires with very low rolling resistance for the Filante's narrow, 19-inch wheels. Braking and steering are electrically controlled (brake-by-wire, steer-by-wire).
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Renault Filante (concept)” as 2025 electric concept vehicle. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2025 electric concept vehicle. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q132859808. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025, 1956 and 1000.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
