Retro-Inspired Supercars

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Vultran Solair is a Modern Car Inspired by the Classics

— January 20, 2017 — Autos
Modern car designs are often in a class of their own that is far from the mainstream aesthetic of the past or present, but the Vultran Solair looks to change this preconception. The design of the Vultran Solair is inspired by vintage classic vehicles such as the 1969 Chevrolet Corvette and the 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C3, but is inherently modern in terms of design and materials utilized.

The Vultran Solair features an impact-resistant carbon composite shell that is created using a 3D printer and can be inexpensively swapped out, depending on preferences or needs. The modern car features a three-seat interior that is great for those that like the classic convertible style of yesteryear or those that like buggies for off-roading.

The Vultran Solair is the design work of Lee Rosario.
