The conceptual hovercraft offers premium performance technologies and takes design cues from sports cars. Its air cushion mechanism allows it to hover over various terrains, including the road, gravel, pavement, grass, or even water. Arosa is ideal for driving over flooded areas or crossing over small bodies of water. A patented directional control system makes the vehicle easy to maneuver, which also allows for more advanced maneuverability in all directions, including reverse, forward, and lateral movements. Boasting two seats, the electric hovercraft runs on a high voltage battery pack. Moreover, it is equipped with three independent electric motors to keep the vehicle in motion.
