So it is definitely not just a roofline extension. Some thick cables go into this roof piece. There we can see a large piece attached to the roof. The car itself is longer than the original P7.īut the thing that deserves all the attention is the roof of this vehicle. Worth mentioning that the shock absorbers look thicker. Its front wheels have been moved forward, and the front track was increased drastically. As we can see, the test vehicle uses the body of the heavily modified XPeng P7 electric sedan. According to the source, this flying car was shot on Chongqing roads. XPeng Flying Car Spy ShotsĪnd now, let’s move on to spy shots. According to documents, the real challenge of making a folded flying mechanism is to lock rotors properly to prevent damage when the car is driving on the road. It has a look of a classic car, except for the case for rotors on the roof. Previously, we covered patent images of the XPeng flying vehicle.
XPeng New Flying Car XPeng Flying Vehicle Patent Images The sixth generation of the XPeng flying car is going to change it.
Anyway, there is a problem with all the XPeng Heitech’s flying ‘cars.’ They don’t look like actual passenger vehicles as they haven’t got wheels or a traditional body shape. From 2016 till 2021, XPeng Heitech presented five generations of its flying ‘cars.’ The fifth generation even has come to Europe this year. Zhao Deli founded it in 2013 with financial support from XPeng CEO He Xiaopeng. XPeng Heitech is a company that develops all of the XPeng flying cars. It’s remarkable that XPeng really tests it. Suddenly, some spy shots of the XPeng flying car on the road leaked online. It looked like a real car with a giant roof rotors box. The judges for the competition were Anthony Lo, Renault’s Vice-President of Exterior Design and François Leboine, Renault’s Chief Exterior Designer along with Central Saint Martins programme director Nick Rhodes.Recently, XPeng applied for a patent for a flying car. She just took the concept one step further with Maglev tech.Ĭould this be the future of car design? Using Maglev technology, the Float won the Renault “future of the autonomous car” design contest. Dubbed the “Float” her concept employs electric power, autonomous driving, and connected technologies - all three priorities for Renault.

Cai spent two full weeks in Renault’s design studies in Paris. It’s a designer and design-engineer’s dream to win big with a car company. Regardless, it’s a concept car, and as such, these details can come later. Until then, a more discrete and useful purpose might be to adapt this to transit along new purpose-built magnetic lines. The concept design would be autonomous and electric.īased on the same technology as Tesla’s conceptual hyper-loop, and the high-speed rail in Japan, the Renault float car would seem to only have a future if all the roads it travels on can somehow be engineered with magnets in mind. Yunchen Chai’s winning design uses Maglev Technology - like Tesla’s hyperloop - in place of wheels. The contest theme was “new age of autonomous driving” and clearly, Yunchen Chai took the concept to the next-level with Maglev technology.
Could this be the future of the automobile? Conceptually interesting, it’s probably far-fetched to assume this concept could be anything but far-future. Yunchen Chai’s autonomous float hover car won big with Renault at a contest for innovative design.
