Aerodynamics, design… How Renault takes care of the line of the future electric R5

Streamlined, photogenic, the prototype of the electric R5 shines out of sight. The calm before the storm. This gray November morning, at the S2A wind tunnel in Montigny-le-Bretonneux, in the Yvelines, the giant carbon blades of the system begin to turn. They are able to simulate the force of the wind up to 240 km/h. “Knowing that at 100 km/h against the wind, a man can no longer stand up”, specifies Jean-Pierre Rial, the site director.
