Hyundai 2020 City Car Concept
The Hyundai 2020 City Car Concept by Nicolas Stone may be the future of automotive engineering and design – and it looks sultry as heck!
Hyundai’s 2020 City Car is the creation of recent design graduate Nicolas Stone, who entered Hyundai’s Design Project competition.
This car features state of the art (and environmentally friendly) technologies inside and out. The corner panels and roof of the vehicle are transparent solar panels, which collect ambient light to create electricity. This is not an electric vehicle but a hydrogen powered one – the electricity stored doesn’t head to the engine; instead it goes to water tanks that produce hydrogen out of oxygen.
The car essentially functions like a plant with its own version of photosynthesis. This artificial photosynthesis, based on research conducted at MIT by Professor Daniel Nocera, takes the pure oxygen we breathe and pumps it back into the cabin, giving driver/passengers an extra boost you need on your way to wherever.
The 2020 City Car keeps with its nature theme with an interior space that mimics “leaves growing off a stem” according to its designer Stone. The cabin’s principle duty, aside from utilitarian, is to keep everything “open and airy.”
Perhaps we will see such technology line Hyundai dealer lots by spring of 2020.
produce hydrogen out of oxygen
I like the design. I was thinking about making a car with its own photosynthesis. I converts carbon dioxide into “food” which then “feeds” the engine. which then converts it back into oxygen. Please don’t copy the ide, its copyrighted.
i love this 2020 hyuhdai car copcept vehicle!!!!
ok cool but relly? fake!
I like your work!,
