TJ Vaninetti’s Ford Xplor gives a retro look to a new design because the car resembles the design of a classic Ford car.
The designer has added the latest technologies and functionality to the Ford Xplor to give it a modern look. The Ford Xplor is powered by a lithium-ion battery that lies under the car’s floor. The wheels of the Ford Xplor contain electric motors and are equipped with a special accident avoidance system. Its specially designed front glass also provides a complete view of the road to passengers.
