Aside from pushing speed demon boundaries, these eco-racing car innovations have been manufactured with an extra pinch of creativity in order to render them Mother Nature's personal favorite mode of transportation.
From concepts such as the Citron Maglev, a three-wheel race car running on electric power that can also morph into an airplane, to the Nuna5, a solar-powered vehicle that can handle varying terrains, futuristic vehicles are now staples in the racing industry. The cars have undergone many internal changes and their concept designs have deviated from regular car designs as well.
The featured eco-racing car innovations present an insane amount of imagination and technological dexterity and will have one wondering what else is left for auto manufacturers to come up with!
