Looking at human future as a complex habitat that would need a lot of energy, and to survive against the legacy of our present mistakes (pollution, radiation…), Goran Marinkovic designed SCARAB-E concept vehicle. This vehicle is aimed at solving mainly three problems: Energy consumption, Passenger protection and human design.


This vehicle gets power from an electric engine, supported by four electro-generators placed inside every wheel. Whereas solar cells covering the entire body of the car provide additional energy source to the engine, its thinner wheels help save energy.



The body shell of this future family car is made from light materials based on magnesium and that helps reduce its weight considerably. Its body and roof is covered with UV folio for protecting passengers from harmful radiation and the space frame has the protecting architecture of a cocoon, providing maximum impact protection.
