Designer Jason Park has created
what he believes could be the race car of the future. Dubbed the Jaguar
Persona, the vehicle has been designed to tackle problems brought on by
ever-improving technology which are diluting the passion of current racing
cars. Park’s design therefore brings back the expert craftsmanship of
yesteryear and combines it with cutting edge technologies and a futuristic
design fitting for the year 2030.
Power for the Persona comes courtesy of
NASA-designed motors which include self-recharging battery cores. The motors
have then been embedded into an aerodynamically-designed exterior that is not
only extremely efficient. but also looks the part.
Among the key design elements are two individual
pods for the driver and passenger, huge air intakes to feed the electric
motors, bulging front and rear wheel arches and front and rear fascias that are
as sharp as a razor blade.
Race cars in 2030 may not resemble the Jaguar
Persona in the slightest, but if they do, even just remotely, motorsport will
continue to go strong well into the electric age.
