- The concept car Renault Filante points to electrical efficiency records
- A single places compromises all control yoke controls
- Renault’s advanced design director says it could be seen in future cars
The new concept car Renault Filante Record 2025 cuts an imposing figure. With a weight of only 1,000 kg but measures 5.12 m long, it is more similar to a combat plane or a record vehicle of ground speed than a traditional concept.
But instead of a previous view of an upcoming passenger vehicle, the recently presented Fillante has developed to “overcome the limits of aerodynamics and energy efficiency,” according to Renault, providing the perfect white canvas for engineers and designers They improve aerodynamics and, therefore, increase the range and range and the performance range of future EVs.
One of the innovations that the French company is exploring is the use of cable management and brake technology, eliminating the mechanical connection between the driver and the vehicle controls completely.
Tesla fans will know that Cybertruck arrived with cable management technology, which has demonstrated a learning curve for some drivers. But Renault has taken things farther with this concept by committing everything with the PlayStation controller disguised as a steering wheel.
“It is something that releases a lot of space inside,” Gear from Sandoep Bhambra, director of Advanced Design of Renault, told Top Gear. According to Bhambra, it is also something that the company is looking for future cars.
In essence, the philant can be completely controlled by the hands, which makes the driving experience more similar to a Gran Tourism Session that a traditionally complex high performance machine.
Renault says that by eliminating mechanical connections between key controls, it releases designers and engineers to create new possibilities in their cabin platform and architecture.
With regard to electric vehicles, this could lead to a smarter packaging of bulky batteries and electric motors.
Bring the combat plane for the road
Although the Renault Filante Record 2025 is a laboratory of undulating sciences, instead of a genuine look to the future of passenger cars, it is dedicated to a series of interesting ideas that circulate the automotive industry at this time.
First, with increasing levels of automation, do drivers really need traditionally bulky controls of yesteryear? Tesla certainly does not believe it, since he got rid of absolutely everything in his cyber concept.
The elimination of all controls releases space for entertainment in the vehicle in driverless cars, but commit brakes and accelerate one, a manual unit in a more traditional car also literate the load, which means that future electric vehicles can be more efficient and offer greater varies from smaller and light battery packages.
Okay, not everyone will initially agree with the idea of control of Renault, some could even say that they are potentially dangerous, but advances in driver assistance systems and autonomous driving technology will soon be careful to be careful Heavy works when it comes to security.
In addition to this, the innovations of cabins such as this could also free automotive companies to work on more interesting and intelligently packaged designs.
While we head towards the next transport chapter, cars really need to look like the four -wheel square things that we have known more than a century?
