Presented at the 2010 LA Design Challenge, the Volvo Air Motion Concept is a two-seater open sportscar targeted to driving enthusiasts, with a carbon fiber body and a powertrain with compressed-air motors.
For the “1,000 lb car” brief of the 2010 LA Design Challenge, California-based Volvo Monitoring and Concept Center (VMCC) has presented the Air Motion Canyon Carver, a design study of a futuristic open sportscar running on compressed air.
The carbon fiber body takes inspiration from Scandinavian design heritage and is “sculptured like a clam shell.”
Aimed at minimizing weight and complexity, while maximizing driving enjoyment, the concept is powered by simple compressed air motors. These motors cool down under load rather than heat up, thus removing the need for heavy cooling systems.
