The styling and exterior design of the TH!NK FROST was inspired by and created to suit arctic climates and conditions. The asymmetrical bodywork was influenced by ice formations and features numerous ‘cracks’ which hide the lighting systems. This interesting source of natural inspiration also means that the concept takes on different shapes when viewed from different angles.

The layout of the FROST concept mixes the proportions and 2-seat platform of a sports car with the rugged capability of an off-road vehicle. The electric drivetrain of the concept features AWD, all-wheel-steering, fully independent suspension and hydraulic wheel extenders for increasing the track. Not to mention the radical tracks instead of conventional wheels which should offer superior traction when driving on snow, ice and slush.

The huge fans at the back, control air flow into the cockpit and adjust the temperature of the electric motors and battery packs.

    LOL sure you’ll be riding along and the battery craps out before you get finished with riding back to home base like with those new and improved as seen at Homo Depot drills that die before your wall gets finished being screwed.

    Hey, this thing is just in time for Global Warming.

    #1 – You should always be charging one while working. Go out and buy yourself another battery pack.

    Are those brake lights…

    Does it have a sun roof to shoot moose from?

    Wow, the tracks even leave no trails. That is the future!

    I have to wonder whether the “designer” bothered to figure out whether this could actually run in the snow. The tracks with the very sharp angles look as though they have a lot of rolling resistance compared to more standard (tried and true over decades) tracks. The could use a little more diameter.

    The little cracks to hide lighting look like good places to ice up or freeze over rendering those lights near useless. And who really needs a big fan in that much cold – or is this “designer cold?”

    What is the “info tube” other than an easy to freeze shut version of the old pitot tube and really should not be expected to get readings of outside air accurately without packing up. This would be better with a simple thermocouple on the skin or on a solid probe or etc.

    This may look cool but it looks like a loss if implemented.

    Once global cooling kicks in hard, we’ll be driving around in style!

    Um, they were selling replacement units like those treads fifteen or twenty years ago and you could do all of maybe 40 mph without throwing a tread. If you didn’t load the vehicle down they worked on the flat and lesser slopes.

    In places this thing would compute fans to blow air into the passanger compartment are needed like teats on a boar hog.

    Batteries don’t work all that well in frigid temps. Maybe a capaciter if they can get them to market.
