Overview edit

The model bears the brand's new emblem, which is here illuminated.[8] The body is made from a recycled plastic called Starkle and has no doors, side windows or windshield.[9] The vehicle, including the interior, are 100% waterproof.[10] The concept will not become a production model and, as the representatives of the company say, it is a "laboratory for the implementation of the newest ideas".[11]
