It is just a prototype till now, but fully operational and road legal as well. This concept electric car has been developed by four companies in the UK together.

The Aura concept also comes with a highly minimalistic and simplistic design language.

Aura concept has was displayed at the CENEX-LCV show at Millbrook Proving Ground. The manufacturers describe this car as a pure, simple, iconic low-drag, efficient design. It has been designed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technologies for testing. However, its drag coefficiency has not been revealed yet.

The car comes in form of a small twin-seater roadster with no roof. It looks a bit like the open-top variant of Volkswagen XL1.

The car gets a portrait-oriented touchscreen infotainment system. The driver display comes as a self-levelling one and is located in the centre of the steering wheel. This feature is certainly the centre of attraction amidst all. Overall, the car appears very minimalist with its whole design.
