Bora Kim’s unique [concept vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vision-gt) stretches (quite appropriately) into what concept designers often miss: the fact that it may never be a reality. For Bora Kim, Burning Freedom is “darkness and desire, eternal sunshine, the road to realization, and collision of senses.” Bora’s outlook on the concept is dream-like, and the car is like a dream. The outer shell is made of [transparent and semi-transparent pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-iconic) that possess no colour while stationary. Upon movement, the reflection of light fully illuminates that car with an [array of colours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-next). Nonetheless, for Kim, “true freedom comes from within." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Transparent Vehicle Designs:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry by incorporating transparent and semi-transparent materials in vehicle exteriors, creating unique visual experiences. - **Dynamic Color-changing Vehicles:** Potential for disruptive innovation in automotive design through the integration of light-reflecting materials that change color when the vehicle is in motion, offering a captivating and mesmerizing aesthetic. - **Emotive Concept Vehicles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the automobile industry to create vehicles that evoke emotions and feelings through their design, providing a deeper connection between drivers and their vehicles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation within the automotive industry by exploring new materials and designs that enhance the visual appeal and emotional connection of vehicles. - **Concept Car Design:** Disruptive innovation potential in the field of concept car design by incorporating unique features such as transparent exteriors and dynamic color-changing capabilities to create futuristic and captivating vehicles. - **Material Science:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the field of material science to develop advanced transparent and light-reflecting materials that can be used in various industries, including automotive design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Escapism Electric Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trekker-concept-vehicle.md) - [Outdoor-Focused Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manifesto-concept-car.md) - [Futuristic Grand Tourers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-turismo.md) - [Transparent Sphere Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphere-vehicle.md) - [Streamlined Digital EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infiniti-vision-qe-concept.md) - [Lighting-Wrapped Concept Coupes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-coupe.md) - [Post-Colonization Mars Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacex-fusion-concept.md) - [Sleek Reimagined Racing Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-99x.md) - [Road-Ready Dune Buggy Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fordzilla-hypervan.md)
