Renault Filante

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).
