As far as electric cars go, they often look as they were made for one's grandmother, but not the RXFE Concept Car. This mean machine has a sporty edge that everyone including Batman would appreciate. Dark and dramatic, it seems fit for both superheroes and villains.
Designed by Henry Wang, the RXFE Concept Car shows just what a modern successor to the iconic rotary-powered RX7 might look like. It is equipped with four hub-mounted electric motors that work with the rotary engine to form a hybrid power drive.
There is something very retro about its absolutely masculine, two-door design. In fact, it reminds me very much of the sports cars from the 90s, of course, with a futuristic feel to it.
