Love it or hate it, the style exercise, the Renault Filante Record 2025 remains a beautiful double symbolic tribute.
The name Filante Record 2025 given to Renault’s latest electric demo car is no coincidence. It draws inspiration from two legendary vehicles in the brand’s history: the 40 CV of the Records and the Étoile Filante. These iconic racing cars marked the 1920s and 1950s by setting multiple speed and endurance records. Today, Renault reinvents this heritage with an electric vehicle designed to push the boundaries of efficiency.
According to Sylvia dos Santos, head of branding strategy at Renault, this naming choice reflects the pioneering spirit and innovative capacity that characterize the brand. This demo car, a true laboratory of aerodynamics and advanced technologies, aims to set a record for consumption and range in the first half of 2025.
The Étoile Filante: innovation in the service of speed
Presented in 1956, the Étoile Filante is famous for its records set on the Bonneville Salt Flats, reaching up to 308.85 km/h over five kilometers. Equipped with a 270-horsepower turbine and an aeronautical-inspired structure, it allowed Renault to explore new technological advancements.
The 40 CV of Records: master of endurance
In 1925, the 40 CV of Records set several average speed records on the Montlhéry circuit. The following year, an improved version took the prestigious 24-hour record with a distance of 4,167 km at an average of 173.6 km/h. This model exemplifies a blend of robustness and innovation, key characteristics of Renault’s DNA.
With the demo car Filante Record 2025, Renault reinterprets the concept of performance. It is no longer about speed, but about efficiency and sustainability—values essential to the future of electric mobility. Finally, this vehicle also celebrates the 100th anniversary of the diamond-shaped logo, first adopted in 1925, thereby strengthening the link between past and future.
