Mexican designer Arturo Arino has come up with this concept which has been named as the Squalus. The Squalus is an all-electric luxury concept vehicle, designed to provide the maximum possible comfort and smoothness for its passengers, but without any sort of noise or emissions.
The Squalus has four individual electric motors, which reside within the innards of each wheel and provide the necessary power required for motion of the vehicle.
The spinning motion of the vehicle’s wheels is what generates the electic energy required by the electric motors and in case the elctric motors are out of juice, there is a hydrogen engine also present to kick-in and propel the vehicle when the electric motors are down. The Squalus also has a variable darkness windshield, which varies its intensity depending on the sun’s intensity.
The windshield is also equipped with solar cells, to trap the sun’s energy and use it to feed the vehicle’s electrical system.
