The Renault Etoile Filante has returned to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, USA where, six decades ago on 5th September 1956, it famously clocked up a speed of 308.9kph (192mph) to establish four new world records – two of which still stand to this day.

While a succession of high-powered Renault race cars thrilled the vast, 135,000-strong crowd at Silverstone during the World Series by Renault weekend, the second largest motorsport event in the UK, a futuristic electric car was generating quite a buzz of its own at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Three rare Renaults to appear at Goodwood Festival of Speed, 3rd to 5th July 2009. Ondelios, Kangoo Z.E. (Zero Emission) concept cars and 1959 electric Dauphine.
