The idea behind the Hinterland 1 concept car is efficiency. This is byno means new in the realm of automotive design, but rarely has a lowcoefficient of drag looked so, well, aggressive. Put a turret on top ofthis thing and it could be used to scare children to bed every night.My opinions aside, the idea behind the Hinterland 1 is really apleasant thing, and the car`s Canadian designers at The Creative Unitand Higgins-Aubé have designed what could be an iconic new eco-friendlyride.

If everything were to work out as predicted {thus far, theHinterland 1 is nothing but sketches and renderings}, the all-electriccar would move down the street with a Prius-beating drag coefficient ofless than 0.25. As the designers say, "At 120 km/hr, drag accounts for75% of the fuel consumption, with rolling resistance accounting for theremaining 25% {source: VW-Golf}. The importance of an aerodynamicdesign is crucial for this environmentally friendly vehicle." It`s nosurprise that making a vehicle slippery is key to reducing fuel use.
