You’ve never seen anything like this before: Ventile is a innovative automobile concept that reinvents the hybrid car. Aside from the classic electric-gas combination, its powertrain also includes a giant fan. As air comes rushing from the front, it goes beneath the vehicle and spins the fan underneath thus produces electricity to power the electric engine. The fans in its four rubberless wheels have the same role. Another remarkable feature of Ventile is it’s incredibly light weight: only 350 kg (a little over 771 lbs). We’d love to see how this unique concept by Thierry Dumaine drives!
