Nio Triathlon Is A Three-Personality EV Design Study
by AutoExpert | 15 November, 2021
It is our pleasure to show off the work of up-and-coming designers by posting their renderings. Known as the Nio Triathlon Concept, this is one of the most astounding projects we've ever seen.
Guillaume Mazerolle, who is presently an exterior design intern at Nio, generously provided these shots. They show a vehicle that can be effortlessly transformed from a Formula 1 racer to an Extreme E-style off-roader or even a strong hyper boat.
The Triathlon Concept is supported by a complicated cell that holds a centrally located cabin. The automobile would be equipped with complicated aerodynamic elements such as a big rear wing, an extensive front wing, wheel covers, aerodynamic bargeboards, and a detailed diffuser while in its Formula 1 and IndyCar-inspired "Sprint Mode."
When users choose to take the car off-roading, these aerodynamic components can be withdrawn. Enormous wheels and tires, akin to those used by Formula Offroad racers, have been installed in their stead. To keep the cell safe, new external parts would be installed.
"Aquatic Mode" is the 3rd and the last arrangement. The Nio's cell is joined by a couple of floats that enable it to glide across the water at fast speeds in this variation.
The Triathlon Concept, according to Mazerolle, would employ an all-electric powerplant and race on specially-built tracks that would contain a large sprint track similar to those seen in NASCAR, as well as an off-road circuit and a water segment in the middle. That is, without a doubt, an improbable case.
