In the 2020 Auto Expo, automotive manufacturers didn’t fail to amaze us with their astound vehicles, but it seems like Hyundai has bowed to take us to a roller coaster ride of thrills. First the NEXO SUV, and now the Kite EV. Showcased in the 2020 Auto Expo, it is a combination concept of a buggy and a jet ski, it was debuted in the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The combination concept was designed by Hyundai Design Centre Europe in collaboration with Turin-based design school Instituto Europeo di Design (IED).
This EV with no doors, windows or rooftops can be converted from a two seater buggy to a single seater jet ski which detaches from its nose. The cabin gives a futuristic experience by allowing us a feature to shift steering column from left to right almost all feature can be controlled by rider’s mobile phone. Its body is built on a monocoque chassis with 3745 mm in length,2235 mm in width and 1455 mm in height. The wheels are powered by four brushless motors positioned inside the wheels when it is a buggy and a water jet turbine when it’s a jet ski.
Unfortunately the disappointment is that the production for this EV is off the plans for Hyundai.
