The
TH!NK FROST concept is a creation of Norwegian designer
Anders Gloslie who is currently studying at IED Torino
in Italy.
The FROST has been designed as a concept proposal for
TH!NK, an electric car company based in Norway.
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. Also featuring at the rear is an
"information hose" which arcs out of the rear
bodywork. This hose takes measurements of the weather
and temperature and relays the information to screens
both inside and outside the vehicle.
The TH!NK FROST is a innovative and strikingly styled
vehicle quite different from anything else. The proposed
market is be for exploration teams and private individuals
who want an extreme vehicle for traveling through intense
winter conditions.
