# Crab-Inspired Electric Cars The Hyperion By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-10-26 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-hybrid-car-hyperion-electric-ready-to-leap-at-pedestrians References: [stylecrave](http://stylecrave.com/2008-10-17/electric-hyperion-car-looks-wicked/electric-hyperion-car-looks-wicked-4/) Making an electric car that looks like a giant crab eater ready to devour anybody that gets in its path may not be the best way to go, design-wise. But car designers like Marco Aurelio Galan Henriquez are taking their inspiration from the sea for their eco-friendly auto concepts like this Hyperion. The Hyperion runs on a lithium-ion battery powered AC synchronous motor. Its carbon fiber body makes the Hyperion a safe vehicle to drive, even at high speeds. I can’t wait to see this concept made and then pimped. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Crab-inspired Electric Cars:** Using biomimicry to design eco-friendly vehicles with unique designs that stand out. - **Lithium-ion Battery-powered Vehicles:** Investing in the development and production of higher capacity lithium-ion batteries to make electric vehicles more efficient. - **Carbon Fiber Vehicles:** Advancing the use of carbon fiber materials to create lightweight and safe vehicle bodies. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive Industry:** Innovating with biomimicry and advanced materials to design and manufacture eco-friendly vehicles. - **Renewable Energy Industry:** Developing higher capacity lithium-ion batteries that can power vehicles for longer durations and with faster charging times. - **Sustainable Materials Industry:** Improving the production and use of carbon fiber materials to create more cost-effective and sustainable solutions for vehicle bodies and other applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solar-Powered Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-cladrus.md) - [Electric Superhero Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p64-lancehead.md) - [Superyacht-Inspired EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acura-performance-ev-concept.md) - [Turtle-Inspired Sleek Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-imobility.md) - [Electric Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/california-corvette.md) - [Electrified Supercar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissan-hyper-force.md) - [New Energy Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-next.md) - [Curvaceous Electric Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curvaceous-electric-concept-cars.md) - [Water-Ready Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citron-above-and-under.md)
