Behance user Mi Otra has come up with a series of illustrations depicting a concept for an electric car. Industrial design is admittedly not engineering and designing an efficient electric vehicle, which is most definitely an ambitious project; however, Mi Otra isn't looking to reinvent the wheel. The design is meant to make such a project visually appealing. In this area, Mi Otra hits it out of the park.
The car has a sort of retro-futuristic look to it; that is, an aesthetic that was thought of as futuristic a decade or so ago. This is not to say the design is passe -- quite the opposite. There are good reasons why angular shapes, sleek lines and metallic textures have been associated with progress: they look cool.
