# Sun-Harvesting Supercars Jaguar Mark XXI Feasts on the Sun Like a Flower By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-07-08 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaguar-mark-xxi References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/07/08/solar-powered-sunflower-jaguar/) The [Jaguar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaguar-xk) Mark XXI appears to have a mind of its own and basic survival instincts. The sleek design for this [concept Jaguar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaguar-etype) comes with a beautiful armour-like shell for ultimate protection. The car is designed to be, most importantly, a safe driving experience. When the car is not being driven, the black panels automatically (yes, automatically) rise from the body of the car and begin feasting on [sun energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michael-jantzen-2) (like a living breathing plant). It’s a hassle-free concept that makes eco-driving seem so much easier and much less of a stress on the brain; you don’t need to think when it does it for you. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Solar-powered Vehicles:** The trend of solar-powered vehicles presents an opportunity for automotive manufacturers to develop eco-friendly cars that harness the unlimited power of the sun. - **Autonomous Energy Generation:** The trend of autonomous energy generation allows for the development of vehicles that can generate their own energy, reducing reliance on external power sources. - **Sustainable Transportation:** The trend of sustainable transportation offers an opportunity for car manufacturers to create vehicles that prioritize environmental friendliness and reduce carbon emissions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can explore and adopt solar-powered technology to create innovative and eco-friendly vehicles. - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can collaborate with automotive manufacturers to develop solar-powered vehicles and energy-efficient solutions. - **Transportation:** The transportation industry can benefit from embracing sustainable practices and investing in eco-friendly vehicles to reduce the carbon footprint of transportation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Restored All-Aluminum Jaguars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaguar-xk.md) - [Solar-Powered Sedan Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-eqxx.md) - [Immersive Solar-Powered Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8-minutes-and-20-seconds.md) - [Future-Facing EV Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaguar-type-00.md) - [Solar-Powered Sleek Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-solaris.md) - [Sleek Solar-Powered SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humble-one-suv.md) - [Solar-Powered Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-vehicle-concept.md) - [Futuristic Solar-Powered Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightyear-0.md) - [Inductive Charging Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vixen-electric-sports-kit-car.md)
