If only we could get our hands on the keys of a BRB Evolution. The stunning concept is a hybrid car that runs both on electricity and on hydrogen. Yet its best quality is its ability to fold up to 50% of its original size. Designed by 22-year-old Daniel Bailey, the charismatic supercar boasts a very sporty figure, with aggressive lines and a remarkable glass sky roof. The [edgy two-seater](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-ftme) was inspired by the [Lamborghini](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eccentrica-v12) Murcielago and Peugeot 908, though its sci-fi movie look and traits suggest some influences from the likes of “Transformers” and “X-Men.” Although many supercar concepts and prototypes show off their eco-friendliness, none possess the superior parking features of the BRB Evolution; boldly addressing more needs will always give one sleek car design the edge over another. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Folding Supercars:** The trend of folding supercars presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry by addressing the issue of limited parking spaces. - **Hybrid Vehicles:** The trend of hybrid vehicles like the BRB Evolution creates disruptive innovation opportunities in the automotive industry by combining electricity and hydrogen as power sources. - **Influenced Car Designs:** Innovations in car design inspired by sci-fi movies and concepts like the BRB Evolution offer disruptive opportunities in the automotive industry by introducing unique and eye-catching aesthetics. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can benefit from the trend of folding supercars by developing advanced folding mechanisms and compact designs to improve parking efficiency. - **Electric Vehicles:** The electric vehicle industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating folding capabilities into their designs, following the trend set by the BRB Evolution. - **Design and Styling:** The design and styling industry can leverage the trend of influenced car designs to create futuristic and visually striking concepts that capture consumer attention. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pop-Up Caravan Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cfold.md) - [Transforming Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vista-roadster.md) - [Folding Ergonomic Steering Wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steering-wheel-concept.md) - [Shapeshifting Trunk-Friendly Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pxid-a1.md) - [Water-Ready Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citron-above-and-under.md) - [Powerful Folding E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-ebike1.md) - [Hybrid Design Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-city-car.md) - [Folding Urban E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-urban-ebike.md) - [Curvaceous Electric Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curvaceous-electric-concept-cars.md)
