Numerous electric car concepts have invaded us lately, but, despite the fact that most of them are more advanced than we could have ever imagined, there was none just like the TH!NK FROST electric car.

The TH!NK FROST concept by designer Anders Gloslie is an electric vehicle created for the snowy terrains of the Arctic. Not only is the vehicle suited to travel on the icy surfaces, but it takes design cues from the intended environment to form ice-inspired bodywork, complete with “cracks” on the surface to hold lighting systems. The arrangement also allows for the car to take on a different appearance depending on the angle of view. The car has been designed as a concept proposal for TH!NK, an electric car company based in Norway.

 

Powered by an electric motor, the car does not tread on wheels, rather it uses radical tracks for better grip and maneuverability. The rear of the car houses huge fans to regulate airflow and temperature, and an “Information Hose” measures temperature and weather conditions and relays information to the driver.

 

The TH!NK FROST electric car is an innovative and strikingly styled vehicle quite different from anything else. This concept addresses exploration teams and private individuals who want an extreme vehicle for traveling through intense winter conditions. But, it is exactly its design that also makes for a disadvantage. This way, the car has just been developed for explorers and scientists doing research work in the Arctic. But carrying this design, there is no way the car can make it to the open roads, which is quite a shame, because the car looks spectacular.

So far, there is no information available about the car entering production or not, let alone a possible price tag for this automotive beauty of the snow.
