2009 Mitsubishi i MiEV Sport Air Concept
Mitsubishi i MiEV Sport Air Concept's color & trim follows a "Japanese Technology" theme, combining the approachable image and the high-tech spirit of environmentally-friendly devices: The blue Made of semi-transparent lightweight composite, the "clear cutaway" roof panel allows open air driving whilst retaining the structural integrity of the coupé. Whilst several variants of i MiEV Sport have been sketched internally (all the way to a wacky mini pickup !), the 2009 Mitsubishi i MiEV Sport Air Concept is a more tangible proposition with its removable clear roof panel over its polyamide and polyphenylene ether body panels. Appropriately for an EV, a semi-transparent embedded solar panel is used on the bonnet and "clear cutaway" roof panel, while the "printed circuit board" motif continues inside, highlighting points inside the cabin.
Details, such as the (more) robust looking three-spoke alloy wheels, the squared-off mirrors, the LED front lighting and side repeaters contribute to that look. Longer (+ 20 cm) and taller (+ 12 cm), it trades the cheeky look of its predecessor for a more technical approach of its teardrop shape: from the clamshell effect of its deep(er) windshield + diminutive bonnet to the shaper shape of its front end - complete with an inverted Jet Fighter "grille", or the flush glazing over the B-pillar. A joint effort between Mitsubishi Motors design studios in Okazaki (exterior), Okazaki and Cypress, California (interior) as well as Tokyo (execution), the zero CO2 emission Mitsubishi i MiEV Sport Air Concept is a relative to the acclaimed and equally zero CO2 emission 2007 i MiEV Sport show car.
