Designer Kristina Magnitskaya has come up with this futuristic VESNA concept design. It’s a single-seat electric car shaped out from a one-piece body that comprises of natural resin composite with built-in wiring. The front wheels with an offset center of rotation run on a non-synchronous electric motor that uses a direct current with high-powered permanent magnets. The rear wheel is a reinforced-rubber sphere, and the suspension clip has four petals, with each petal containing a roller for free rotation of the sphere. Motors include geared cylinders and it uses regenerative breaking in combination with mechanical breaking via cylinders outside the belt in case of emergencies.
Redistribution of torque and breaking on the leading wheels provides required steering in accordance with the direction provided by the steering wheel. The rear lower structure of the car has been provided with space to accommodate the batteries, which are accessible through the floor of a storage compartment. The car can be fueled directly in the parking lot through a special electro floor. The electro floor is a network of wires, visible through a translucent resin layer. The idea of using different materials with different colors has been aptly exploited for the modular exterior of the car.
