Renault wants to break records with this Batmobile
Is this the new Batmobile? You might think so, but no. This projectile comes from Renault and is not designed to fight criminals, but air and other resistance. The Filante Record 2025 experimental vehicle combines state-of-the-art technology with something of a retro look.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The streamlined electric single-seater is celebrating its premiere at the Rétromobile motor show in Paris, before taking to the racetrack. There, the prototype, which weighs just one ton, will show how much range it can get out of its 87 kWh battery. A record is being targeted.
The absence of mechanical connections between the brake pedal or steering wheel and the wheels with optimized rolling resistance should also help with efficiency - the Filante works with electronic brake and steer-by-wire technology.
In general, the 5.12-metre-long and 1.19-metre-high vehicle is a "laboratory on wheels" for Renault and is intended to demonstrate the potential of various lightweight construction techniques and aerodynamic optimizations. For example, the French company is using topology optimization, in which material is only used in particularly stressed areas. Where it is not absolutely necessary, it is simply left out.
The name of the record hunter refers to the record-breaking Etoile Filante, which set a speed record for gas turbine vehicles in 1956.
