This F1 look-a-like was unveiled at the Car Technology Expo and is one of the prettiest electric Formula 1 concept cars. The Tajima EV Mini Sport runs on a 40 Ah or 120 Ah lithium polymer battery. It is a [single seater](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yksi-electric-vehicle) weighing around 300 kgs. Despite its eco-friendliness and lightness, this electric Formula 1 concept car doesn’t go nearly as fast as the real deal. The Tajima EV Mini Sport has a top speed of between 40 km/h and 90 km/h (depending on which battery you are using). However, at $23,000 this is a very reasonably priced racing vehicle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Electric Formula 1 Concept Cars:** The development and manufacture of eco-friendly F1 concept cars for global competitions and consumer use. - **Lithium Polymer Battery Innovations:** The improvement of the performance and longevity of lithium polymer batteries through research and development. - **Affordable Racing Vehicles:** The creation of low-cost, high-quality racing vehicles for amateur and professional racing enthusiasts. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive Manufacturing:** The production and innovation of sustainable and high-performance vehicles for the sports and racing industry. - **Renewable Energy:** The development of renewable energy sources for the automotive and racing industries to reduce environmental impact. - **Recreational Vehicles:** The expansion of the recreational vehicle market with affordable and eco-friendly racing vehicles for enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [All-Electric Racecar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ariya-singleseater.md) - [Curvaceous Electric Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curvaceous-electric-concept-cars.md) - [Sporty EV Concept Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-rz-sport-concept.md) - [Electric Sporty Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-v.md) - [Conceptual Electric Sportscars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r32ev-concept-model.md) - [Japanese Electric Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honda-flagship.md) - [Yellow Camouflage Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-Mini-Countryman-SUV.md) - [Track-Ready Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-rn22e.md) - [Electric Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/theory-1.md)
