Texas A&M Qatar graduate Abdulwahab Ziaullah developed the idea for the car during his undergraduate research and the model has been brought to life in partnership with Ali Bin Ali Group.

The unique vehicle is coated in a metallic gold paint and, according to Jalopnik, General Motors Company supplied a V-6 engine that produces 535 horsepower.

The power is released to all of the four wheels and should get it moving because the carbon fiber-bodied car only weighs 2,200 pounds, which is 800 pounds less than the average car.

Elibriea Automotive is currently conceptualizing a lightweight eco-friendly sports car without any compromise in performance, according to the Elibreia website.

‘This could be achieved by utilizing best of the available carbon fiber composite technologies and implementing them to develop not just the body panels or monocoque, but also the core components of drivetrain, resulting in sports car with more agility and net thrust per unit mass.’

The designer is working on another car, Equvallas, but has not shared any visuals with the public yet.

It will be another sports car with mid-engine, rear wheel drive and the same carbon fiber body as Elibreia.

Equvallas will have 6-speed sequential and an engine that generates 800 horsepower.

This is the sixth year of the Qatar Motor Show, which attracts car enthusiasts and trade professionals from all over the world.
