It seems that [three wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheeled-cars) are the choice for many [eco-friendly concept car designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-next), and the Brisa is no exception. The car has a super light body made of a translucent elastomere shell and translates power to a rear-wheel-mounted motor.
