That's where concept cars like the [McLaren](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-meliora) JetSet pull in, offering just a [single seat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yksi-electric-vehicle) and optimization for efficiency of form and function. An alternative to scooting around town alone in a four-seater, this vehicle as been designed to be much smaller than most, incorporating a bit of storage space, great comfort for the driver and a body that takes advantage of its compact cockpit. The roof of the automobile flaunts a graceful curve with a deep dip down the rear, ideal for cutting through wind to maximize on speed. Sleek wing-like fenders protect the back wheels of Marianna Merenmies' McLaren JetSet and reduce drag. Such a conveyance can be used for sport and your quotidian commute. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Single-seat Cars:** Designing more single-seat vehicles could offer a solution to the limitations of carpooling and increase efficiency in transportation. - **Efficient Form and Function:** Creating vehicles with optimized form and function, such as the streamlined design of the McLaren JetSet, could lead to more sustainable and eco-friendly modes of transportation. - **Sport and Commute Vehicles:** Combining sport and utility in a single vehicle, as with the McLaren JetSet, allows for versatility in transportation options for users. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive Industry:** The automotive industry can explore innovative designs like the McLaren JetSet to create more efficient and sustainable vehicles for consumers. - **Transportation Industry:** The transportation industry could benefit from incorporating more single-seat vehicles and streamlined designs to improve efficiency and reduce congestion on roadways. - **Sports Car Industry:** The sports car industry could expand their market by incorporating designs that appeal to both sport and utility, as with the McLaren JetSet, to attract a wider range of consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Single-Seater Track Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-11.md) - [Quintessential Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-meliora.md) - [Plane-Inspired Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-concept-vehicle.md) - [Brutish Skeletal Supercar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-570s-concept.md) - [Contoured Limousine-Like Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saab-aerostream.md) - [Futuristic Single-Seater Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-mobility-concept.md) - [Supersonic Aircraft-Inspired EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concorde-20.md) - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [Futuristic User-Centric Travel Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-volvo-space.md)
