Renault has partnered with TheArsenale on this truly unique project, and the result is unprecedented.
AIR4 is a symbol of independence and freedom, born out of the realisation that traffic is compounding, lives are grinding to a halt, and the world above us is unhampered.
Thus, AIR4 claims the air as the new road of the future.
Design wise, AIR4 has resulted in a reinterpretation of the retro icon by TheArsenale, far from the modern car design language.
The vehicle, entirely made of carbon-fiber, maintains the same lines and contained mass of the original 4L, yet presenting new dynamic capabilities.
The rigidity has been completely revised to include new concepts such as thrust or lift, which required hours of calculations and tests.
Drawing on generative design techniques using artificial intelligence, TheArsenale’s engineers were able to test terabytes of data to improve and fine-tune the designers' ideas, even before starting the first real-world trials.
