The Petrolhead Corner: The Renault Filante Record 2025
Chasing land speed records might seem futile and pointless to most, but there’s a genuine upside to mankind’s thrive for ever more, ever better, ever faster. Of course, it can come at a cost, either financial or physical, but at some point down the line, we can benefit from the innovations and developments needed to break new ground. Without this hunger, a lot of things we now take for granted would not be available to us. Take rear-view mirrors, seat belts, and paddle-shift gearboxes as an example, which all came directly from racing. Land-speed record vehicles like the Thrust SSC also gave us valuable insights into unchartered territory. It might come as a surprise, but Renault has left an indefinite mark on the history of land speed records and looks to return to former glory with the Filante Record 2025.Land Speed Records come in all sorts of categories.

The curious fact about the Speedmaster is that it wasn't designed to go to the Moon. Nobody at Omega could have foreseen that the Speedmaster would soon be orbiting out of the Earth's atmosphere to join man on the greatest adventure of all.

The first chronograph of its kind to feature a tachymetre scale on the external bezel, the Speedmaster responded to an internal mandate for a sturdy, precise, waterproof watch that was reliable, legible and easy to manipulate. Today we are going to dig in deep with the Speedmaster and provide you with a compilation of the most iconic' references - and therefore the ones most coveted by collectors – that marked the evolution of this extrao
