# Topless EV Successors The Tesla Roadster Y Concept is a Radical Sequel to the Company's First Car By Michael Hines | Published 2017-07-01 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-roadster-y-concept References: [carbuzz](http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2017/6/30/New-Tesla-Roadster-Imagined-In-Radical-Render-Design-7739892/) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/54158737/TESLA-Roadster-Y-Concept) As visionary as Elon Musk is, the Tesla Roadster Y Concept is likely too ambitious a car for his company to build. Brazilian designer Vinícius Buch crafted this concept which is an open-top take on the two-door Roadster, Tesla's first ever model. The Roadster Y Concept appears to have been designed for performance with its low ride height and aerodynamic design. Buch's concept also incorporates some tech elements into it, such as using a swiping function to open the driver's door. Tesla is making a new Roadster but it will not be as wild as the Tesla Roadster Y Concept. That's a bit of a shame as this design looks like it could be a lot of fun on the open road. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Open-top Evs:** Designing open-top electric vehicles presents an opportunity for a unique and exhilarating driving experience. - **Performance-focused EV Concepts:** Creating electric vehicle concepts with a focus on performance and aerodynamics could push the boundaries of EV technology. - **Incorporating Tech Into EV Designs:** Integrating tech elements, such as swiping functions, into electric vehicle designs can enhance user experience and create innovative features. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive Design:** The automotive design industry can explore new possibilities for creating open-top EVs that combine style, performance, and sustainability. - **Electric Vehicle Manufacturing:** Electric vehicle manufacturers have an opportunity to develop performance-focused EV concepts that appeal to enthusiasts and push the boundaries of the industry. - **Technology Integration:** Companies specializing in tech integration can collaborate with EV manufacturers to enhance the user experience by incorporating advanced features and functionalities in electric vehicle designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Off-Road Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delorean-concept.md) - [Sleek Conceptual EV Convertible](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x-convertible.md) - [Electric Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/california-corvette.md) - [High-Efficiency Tech-Packed EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-model-y.md) - [Performance Electric Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-o2.md) - [Branded Electric Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-modelz.md) - [Electric Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/theory-1.md) - [Custom-Modified Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novitec-tesla-model-y.md) - [Streamlined Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-3-standard.md)
