The TH!NK FROST concept is a creation of Norwegian designer
Anders Gloslie who is currently studying at IED Torino
in Italy.
The FROST has been designed as a concept proposal for
TH!NK, an electric car company based in Norway.
The styling and exterior design of the TH!NK FROST was
inspired by and created to suit arctic climates and conditions.
The asymmetrical bodywork was influenced by ice formations
and features numerous 'cracks' which hide the lighting
systems. This interesting source of natural inspiration
also means that the concept takes on different shapes
when viewed from different angles.
The layout of the FROST concept mixes the proportions
and 2-seat platform of a sports car with the rugged capability
of an off-road vehicle. The electric drivetrain of the
concept features AWD, all-wheel-steering, fully independent
suspension and hydraulic wheel extenders for increasing
the track. Not to mention the radical tracks instead of
conventional wheels which should offer superior traction
when driving on snow, ice and slush.
The huge fans at the back, control air flow into the cockpit
and adjust the temperature of the electric motors and
battery packs. Also featuring at the rear is an "information
hose" which arcs out of the rear bodywork. This hose
takes measurements of the weather and temperature and
relays the information to screens both inside and outside
the vehicle.
The TH!NK FROST is a innovative and strikingly styled
vehicle quite different from anything else. The proposed
market is be for exploration teams and private individuals
who want an extreme vehicle for traveling through intense
winter conditions.
