The Electrified Redefinition Of Tatra 77

Tatra 77 was created by Hans Ledwinka (an Austrian automotive designer) and Paul Jaray (an aerodynamics specialist and zeppelin designer) in 1934 and is generally viewed as the world's first serial-produced, really aerodynamically-built vehicle. Tatra 77 featured a remarkable drag coefficient of 0.2455 for the time and was driven by a 2.97-liter air-cooled V8 engine.

Tatra 77 Homage, on the other hand, adds a few new features to the vehicle's design. In addition, it has an electric drivetrain that is even more efficient because of the car's sleek design. Wonderfully aerodynamic contours make up the car's overall shape.

Radek Štěpán, a Czech automotive designer, is responsible for the Tatra 77's new design. He wanted to bring the Tatra 77 back to life, so he reimagined it as if it were still in production today. An experiment became a sleek and appealing automobile with a strong and distinctive aesthetic language.

The Tatra 77 Homage harks back to its ancestor with its silver paint scheme and circular component in the middle, which replaced the original car's third headlight.

This round piece now serves as the car's logo, while the other two circular cuts (sliced into semi-circles) serve as the car's pop-out headlights, as well as the slicing LED strip that runs up the front. The automobile also has another LED strip on the back that serves as a taillight.

No obvious separating lines or depressions can be found on any of the car's glass surfaces, which lie perfectly flat with the vehicle's body. Indeed, the parts that separate the car's body from the rest of the vehicle are extremely thin, and elements such as the handlebars are also flush with the vehicle's body.
