The future of automotive design is constantly shifting thanks to work like the ELK electric car concept by Antonio Paglia, which imagines a sculpted carbon fiber future for the Mercedes-Benz brand. The Italy-based designer created the concept car to be totally electric and compact, but definitely not weak when it comes to performance. The vehicle would provide ample capabilities for drivers without compromising experience.
The ELK electric car concept is low to the ground and appears to do away with driver and passenger windows, which could reveal internal screens for providing digital feedback. Explaining the process behind designing the ELK, Paglia details that, "The goal of this my project was to create a fun car with zero impact. It is based on a famous auto maker company, a Mercedes Benz concept car that is aggressive but at the same time it has an ecological heart."
