Renault Unveils Futuristic Electric Concept Car

05-02-2025

Renault has unveiled one of its oddest ever concept cars, the Filante Record 2025. The single-seater is inspired by legendary record-breaking Renaults such as the 40 CV des Records (1925), Nervasport des Records (1934) and Étoile Filante (1956). With sleek, flowing lines reminiscent of aircraft, it aims to set new performance benchmarks. The demo car debuts at the Rétromobile motor show in Paris from 5 to 9 February before attempting to break efficiency records later in the year. Finished in Ultraviolet Blue, a shade specially developed for the project the vehicle integrates historic design cues such as round headlamps and wheel fairings while embracing cutting-edge aerodynamics. It also showcases pioneering battery technology, using cell-to-pack integration for improved energy efficiency. With its sights set firmly on the future, the Filante Record 2025 is more than a concept—it is a rolling laboratory for Renault's next generation of electric vehicles.

Renault posts first-half loss of 11.2 billion euros

PARIS (Reuters) -Renault reported a first-half net loss attributable to the group of 11.19 billion euros ($12.78 billion) on Thursday, including a one-off 9.3 billion euros from writing down its investment in partner Nissan flagged earlier this month. Revenues at the French car maker came in at 27.6 billion euros, up 2.5% compared with a year earlier, helped by several new product launches, though its operating margin fell 2.1 percentage points to 6%. Renault lowered its annual forecast earlier this month after market conditions deteriorated, particularly in the commercial vehicle market. The group, whose sales volume growth slowed to 1.3% in the first half, now expects an operating margin of around 6.5% in 2025, compared with at least 7% previously targeted, and free cash flow of between 1.0 billion and 1.5 billion euros, compared with at least 2 billion previously anticipated. "Our first-half results, in a challenging market, were not aligned with our initial ambitions," said Francois Provost, appointed new CEO of the group late on Wednesday. "Nevertheless, Renault Group's profitability remains a reference in our industry, and we are determined to maintain this standard," he added in a statement. Excluding the impact related to Nissan, its net income attributable to the group reached 461 million euros. ($1 = 0.8754 euros)
