The conceptual Rimac 'Scalatan' has been designed by Maximilian Schneider as a vehicle for the year 2080 that delivers a different kind of driver experience and utilizes an unexpected energy source.
The vehicle boasts an aerodynamic design that incorporates a 3D-carboprinted titanium graphite chassis that stores the car's lithium-oxygen battery packs. These batteries will react with the oxygen that passed through the chassis to transform it into energy and act like a living creature on the roadways.
The conceptual Rimac 'Scalatan' is finished with airless wheels that are also 3D-printed and feature a distinct lattice design that will absorb shocks like air-filled wheels, while offering enhanced resistance to wear and offering a completely puncture-proof design to boot.
