Imagine what Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters could have done with this. It's got a rooftop stage and an elevator.

The Renault Filante Record 2025 is a crazy-looking concept car that is also functional and will attempt to set efficiency and range records this year.

The thin body is fashioned from carbon fiber and designed to cut through the air with minimal drag.

The Filante features steer-by-wire, brake-by-wire, extensive use of lightweight materials, and unique friction-reducing tires from Michelin.

There's no closeup of the wheels, but they seem to be the same except for the proportions
  • A cone shaped center section --smaller in front, massively bigger in back
  • A flat lip --wider in front, narrow in the back
  • An impeller duct around the rim
Weight distribution under braking? Airflow through the front wheelwells?
