- Citroen Egoiste Electric Car Uses All Glass Surface

How about a Citrocen concept car made of glass? I’m talking about the design of Ian Kettle here, who imagined the Citroen Egoiste as a vehicle that features a flat and low front and not very much space for the engine.
Egoiste comes with a glass top, glass sides, for a better view of the surroundings. The battery packs powering the supercar rest on in the under-floor space and moving on to the design, this Citroen uses a rear hinged canopy reminding me of a jet fighter. Inspiration for this vehicle can be found in fashion houses in Paris, as passengers can walk the length of the car on a flat floor, in the area above the battery packs, just like they would stride on a catwalk.
The wheels adopt a floral pattern, also being screens for the hub motors. Citroen Egoiste does not feature the classic grill or radiator since it’s an electric car, so it’s cooling is taken care of by glass blades, that direct the air where it’s needed. In case you find this impressive, know that the project was presented at Citroen Design Studio in Paris, last year.
