# Razor-Sharp Rides The Egochine B by Paolo De Giusti Looks Inspired by Men's Shavers By Meghan Young | Published 2010-07-08 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egochine-b References: [thedesignblog.org](http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/razor-sharp-egochine-b-concept-car-sweeps-the-road-in-style/) & [automotto.org](http://www.automotto.org/entry/amazing-machines-paolo-de-giusti-s-egochine-b-concept/) Looking at the Egochine B concept, I can't help but be skeptical about it. Let's face it, the vehicle looks more like a razor than a car. Perhaps I should give designer Paolo De Giusti the benefit of the doubt, however, and not judge the proverbial book by its cover. The Egochine B car concept is based on the theme of 'retrofuturism.' It is powered by electric motors via a [hydrogen fuel cell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acura-performance-ev-concept). If it glides as smoothly as a [Gillette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gillette-bugatti-heated-razor) razor, then perhaps we have something here. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retrofuturism-inspired Design:** Opportunity for creating innovative products with a blend of futuristic and vintage aesthetics. - **Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry with cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. - **Sleek and Streamlined Automotive Design:** Opportunity to reimagine traditional car design and create vehicles with sharper and more dynamic aesthetics. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** Opportunity for car manufacturers to incorporate retrofuturism-inspired design elements and hydrogen fuel cell technology into their product lineup. - **Electric Vehicle:** Potential for electric vehicle companies to specialize in creating sleek and futuristic designs that appeal to consumers seeking a unique and stylish driving experience. - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity to explore collaborations between car designers and consumer electronics companies to create cutting-edge and aesthetically-pleasing vehicles with integrated technology features. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Motorbike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-braun-motorbike.md) - [Two-Wheeled EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twowheeled-electric-car.md) - [Cyberpunk-Inspired Electric Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-motorcycle-concept1.md) - [Transparent Electric Cafe Racers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crdos-ghost-concept-motorcycle.md) - [Electric Cafe Racer Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-ioniq-q.md) - [Heated Automotive-Branded Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gillette-bugatti-heated-razor.md) - [Angular Electric Motorbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-cp1-concept.md) - [Picnic-Ready Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smeg-futro.md) - [Retro-Style Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etrike-revolution.md)
