Unveiled at the 2016 Qatar Motor Show, the Elibriea sports car concept is a vehicle that might be destined for the roads, but that looks good enough for takeoff.
Incorporating sharp angles and 525-horsepower, the Elibriea sports car has a number of different aesthetics that draw comparisons between the vehicle and the Batmobile and beyond.
The Elibriea sports car was designed by the brand's found Abdul Wahab Ziaullah at the Texas A&M University's Qatar campus under the Undergraduate Research Experience Program.
The powerful Elibriea sports car concept features a carbon fiber exterior and a hefty weight of 2,200-pounds, which could produce real-world results that are rather impressive.
The designer explains about the conceptual Elibriea that, "I'm excited and curious to know people's feedback on Elibriea, particularly the views of the critics."
