Overview
- Renault confirmed the December 18 run at UTAC’s Moroccan test track, covering 1,008 km in 9 hours 52 minutes at an average 102 km/h with consumption of 7.8 kWh/100 km.
- The car finished with about 11% battery remaining, which Renault says could have supported roughly 120 km more at over 100 km/h.
- The attempt was structured as a real‑world, high‑speed evaluation with roughly 10 hours of running, 239 laps, brief technical checks, and rotating drivers including Laurent Hurgon, Constance Léraud‑Reyser, and Arthur Ferrière.
- Efficiency gains came from a targeted redesign that cut drag coefficient from roughly 0.40 to 0.30, a 1,000 kg curb weight, and systems such as steer‑by‑wire and brake‑by‑wire.
- Ligier developed the powertrain, chassis, and carbon structure, Michelin supplied bespoke low‑rolling‑resistance tyres, and Renault stresses the concept is not for sale but will inform future EVs.
