The Aiolos concept car was created by South Korean designer Kyoung Soo Na, who dreamed of designing a [futuristic car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-turismo) that could harness the wind energy that circulates between Seoul's skyscrapers. While the eco-friendly engine is a nice touch, the real attraction of the Aiolos concept car is its futuristic design. The Aiolos concept car is [powered by only one wheel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-diwheel), a unique design for a car that isn't seen very often, if ever. The Aiolos [seats one](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yksi-electric-vehicle) in a futuristic cockpit filled with controls for everything from turn signals to cameras. The one downside of the Aiolos is that it seems a little too advanced to go into production anytime soon. The waiting is always the hardest part. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eco-friendly Automobiles:** The Aiolos concept car showcases the potential for eco-friendly automobiles by harnessing wind energy. - **Futuristic Automotive Design:** The Aiolos concept car's unique one-wheeler design presents opportunities for futuristic automotive designs. - **Advanced Cockpit Technology:** The Aiolos concept car's cockpit filled with advanced controls opens doors for innovation in cockpit technology. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can explore the use of wind energy and unique designs to create more eco-friendly and futuristic cars. - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can consider advancements in harnessing wind power for transportation purposes. - **Technology:** The technology industry can develop new and advanced cockpit technologies inspired by the Aiolos concept car's futuristic cockpit design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Single-Wheeled Modular Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-naowheel.md) - [Four-Wheeled Hybrid Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karver-cyle-concept-k1.md) - [Wind-Powered Flying Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-flying-car.md) - [Modular Monowheel Hoverboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naowheel.md) - [Two-Wheeled EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twowheeled-electric-car.md) - [Angular Electric Motorbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-cp1-concept.md) - [Single-Seater Track Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-11.md) - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [Retro-Inspired Two Seater EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pininfarina-dyno.md)
