# Track-Ready EV Concepts The Tesla EXP Concept Features an Aerodynamic Design and is Self-Driving By Michael Hines | Published 2017-04-28 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-exp-concept References: [topgear](https://www.topgear.com/car-news/concept/we-wish-tesla-exp-concept-was-real) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/51866713/Tesla-ModelEXP) There's a good chance that production and transportation designer Xabier Albizu will be on Elon Musk's radar after creating the [Tesla](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-modelz) EXP Concept. The Spanish designer has dreamed up a vehicle that looks more like a GT3 racer than a [Model S](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-model-s-plaid-track-package) sedan. Indeed, Albizu says the car was meant to eat up the track. It has a ton of aerodynamic elements that both cool the motors and powertrain while increasing downforce. However, the Tesla EXP Concept also has features that make it practical for city driving. A rooftop 360-degree camera allows for awesome track day shots and autonomous driving. The cabin, though small, has a passenger's seat. If anything the Tesla EXP Concept is a practical car in the way the Bugatti Veyron and [Chiron](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiron-super-sport) are. Hopefully 10 years or so from now Musk's electric car company is stable and successful enough to consider building a hypercar as wild as this. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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 - **Track-ready EV Concepts:** An increasing number of EV concepts are being designed for high-performance track use while still maintaining practical features for everyday city driving. - **Aerodynamic Design Emphasis:** Vehicle designs with a primary focus on aerodynamics and cooling capabilities have become a top priority for sustainable automotive engineers this decade. - **Autonomous Features Integration:** Self-driving technology is being integrated into high-performing automotive concept designs to enhance track day shots and increase practicality for city driving. ### Where This Applies - **Sustainable Automotive Manufacturing:** Conventional automotive manufacturers and tech startups are highly encouraged to allocate additional R&D resources to sustainable EV manufacturing efforts geared towards creating high-performing track-ready vehicles, promoting futuristic designs, and advocating for sustainable transportation solutions. - **Hypercar Manufacturing:** Hypercar manufacturers can take advantage of the trend towards sustainable transportation by building and marketing hypercars with cutting-edge technology, futuristic designs, and top-of-the-line track performance capabilities. - **Autonomous Vehicle Technology:** As more autonomous driving features are integrated into automotive designs, there may be additional opportunities to adapt this technology for other industries while improving passenger safety, navigation technology, and fuel efficiency. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/theory-1.md) - [Track-Ready Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-rn22e.md) - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [Sleek Sustainable EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opel-experimental.md) - [Superyacht-Inspired EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acura-performance-ev-concept.md) - [High-Powered Electric Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-bev-sports.md) - [Curvaceous Electric Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curvaceous-electric-concept-cars.md) - [Electric Performance Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vision-gt.md) - [Single-Seater Track Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-11.md)
