The desert looks spectacular, magnificent and even inviting at times when you switch on the television and watch your favorite stars go around with ease across the vast sandbanks. But once you step in, the unforgiving heat and never ending sand will prove anything but alluring. Of course, if you hit a Oasis on the way, you could be tempted to stay on. And if you are exploring the desert dunes on Shane Korthius’ Oasis, even then you might be tempted to power on further.
Oasis is an all-electric concept vehicle that allows you to explore the vast stretches of sand dust under seething sun with relative comfort and clean energy. This off-road vehicle might be useful not just in the desserts, but also on the dirt tracks that are too demanding for your normal city wheels. Oasis comes with an ultra-light aluminum chassis, 28 inches of ground clearance for a bit of airtime, fiberglass shell and plenty of torque for the extra oomph.
There is very little in terms of carbon-footprint when you drive Oasis. With its electric drivetrain and lithium-ion batteries that power it on, you can expect silent and emission-free ride. There will be no ear-shattering engine roar on this off-road beauty for sure. Maybe that makes Oasis the perfect vehicle for explorers to sneak up closer to nature without scaring birds and animals off, in the wild.
Silent, stylish and stunning – the Oasis tries to mix adventure with eco-friendly intent to give us the possibility of exploring nature in a clean and calm fashion.
