What you are seeing right now is a gorgeous 2+2 coupe concept, made to be light and functional. The concept was presented at the LA Auto Show Design Challenge Contest, aiming to shock the world with an astonishingly small weight of only 454 kg and maximum comfort and security.
A team of five designers is responsible for this concept. Along the ultra-lightweight, the team was facing the challenge of providing autonomy of 1000 miles. Difficult, but not impossible.
The design of the car is just as beautiful as its functionality. It is inspired from a fantastic future, based on the "Art and Science" philosophy. The amazing technical features don't compromise the security, sizes, or beauty of the car.
The Aera body uses a 3D mono-frame, similar to the natural structures. The details are pretty big-sized and it seems that they are all grown together.
The Pneumatic Drive System has been widely used in order to get to the final result. The air tank fits 10 000 psi, which ensures a 1000 miles capacity.
The flexible cells, which remind us of the materials used for the NASA Mars Rover airbags, enhance the comfort and security of the passengers.
Among the additional technologies that have enriched this concept, we can mention the All-In-One wheel system and the V2V technology.
