The design of modern vehicles is often quite futuristic, but the [Jaguar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaguar-xk) F-Type GT concept takes things in a whole new direction. Blending the aesthetics of automotive design with those of aviation, the Jaguar F-Type GT concept is an angular vehicle that looks as though it will float right off the road.

Incorporating the [design of military drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mostavio-mx1), the Jaguar F-Type GT concept features a front aesthetic that is similar in design to X-style wings on a UAV. A number of other angular, edgy portions on the Jaguar F-Type GT concept makes it a clear winner when it comes to breaking through existing thresholds when it comes to modern vehicles. The Jaguar F-Type GT concept is the design work of Mingyu Kim and Sewon Kim.
