About Vixen Elektrisk Sportssæt Bil
Vixen er en fuldt elektrisk sportsvogn. Den unikke stribelignende led-skærm, der skærer gennem motorhjelmen, praler med banebrydende teknologi, mens Vixen eksteriør arver sjælen fra 60'ernes racer- og sportsvogne. Skærmen kan tilpasses som en smartphone, så chaufføren kan vise sponsorerede annoncer for bonuskreditter i sin næste elregning, ikke-fungible tokens eller enhver ønsket kunst. Under skærmen ligger et kraftigt batterimodul, der nemt kan udskiftes fra siden af bilen på grund af sin unikke position. Vwap-systemtårnet kan glide ind i en fuldt opladet batteripakke på få sekunder.

- Unique Properties
- The Vixen is a fully electric sports kit car. The distinguished stripe-like LED screen in Vixen’s hood cuts through the car’s body, expressing the racing soul and the cutting edge technology. The screen is customizable just like a smartphone.
In addition to battery level and mileage range, the driver can display anything: From a racing stripe decoration to images of sponsors, messages, and even ads to get some bonus credits in his next electric bill. If the driver is a NFT art collector, he now has the perfect canvas to show off his digital art. Vixen ultra-light body and aerodynamics keeps the car agile on any track. Use your helmet for your track day without any discomfort with the Vixen oval shaped roof.
Vixen was idealized to have a very effective weight distribution. Its compact size and wide track width give the car a great grip, and its materials based on aerospace aluminum and carbon fiber helps propel this rocket to the finish line in a glimpse!
The spoilers and wings near the tires help to direct the air-flow to where it should be, using the turbulence of the exposed turning wheels as an ally. The Vixen Inductive Charging Pad is the easier way to charge your electric car at home. The cameras detect it, and the car autonomously touch the pad gently, charging it without any cables.
The Vwap system doesn’t require an underground facility to create an easy and effective way to swap your batteries. Thanks to the vertical position of the Vixen battery module, it can easily slide to the side of the car, allowing a fast and safe battery swap. - Dimensions & Packaging

- Production Technology
- The production of the Vixen kit should be set in Tbilisi, Georgia. The goal is to use the country's strategic position between east and west. While the carbon fiber body is manufactured in Georgia, the screens and engine will be shipped from China by land in a much more sustainable way, avoiding the busy container ship traffic. The idea is to create a symbol of Georgian abilities to produce a high tech vehicle that represents their culture, skills and identity.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest Challenge is the design part. The design of Vixen has an interesting mix of curves and sharp surfaces. Every exterior part that represents technology, is an edgy and dark translucent surface, while the other parts of the body are smooth and bright.
The transition between the screen in the middle of the car, that has sharp edges to the rounded smooth hood reflects the antagonism between vintage raw experiences and modern digital technology. - Research
- The project started with a simple idea of a sports kit car, that is easy to ship in modular parts to lower shipping cost.
The goal was to produce it in a eastern Europeans country, initially in Georgia. We would like to leverage the economy stability of such countries though high tech mobility products. The strategic position of these countries would come handy by using the Belt and Road Initiative, since most of the electronic parts and motors would come from China. - Inspiration
- Vixen, the female fox. Such a provocative name should inspire the free spirited women who miss having a sports car to call their own. Vixen inherits the soul of 60’s racing and sports cars. Its vintage silhouette breathes performance, and the latest tech can be easily spotted.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2022 in Singapore and finished in April 2022 in Rio.
- Operation Flow
- Vixen ultra-light body and aerodynamics keeps the car agile on any track. Use your helmet for your track day without any discomfort with the Vixen oval shaped roof.
