Tulum-based design studio Roth Architecture has created an electric car accented with local materials to offer a "tranquil journey amidst nature" along the local roads.
The EK car was created under the studio's Azulik brand, which includes a resort, art museum, restaurants and the studio's "insect-wing" office spanning a property along the coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula.

It has an organic style with "elegant lines", similar to the one that dominates much of the Azulik property.
The EK car was designed to reduce the environmental impact of fossil fuel transportation, in line with what the studio calls its commitment to the "urgent demands of the Earth". It was also made to navigate the curving roads of an upcoming residential project by Azulik, according to the studio, which will include luxury villas and 84 apartments across four towers.

"Our vehicle design blends comfort and sustainability and offers a tranquil journey amidst nature," said the studio. "By addressing Tulum's narrow roads, our electric car enhances mobility while reducing noise pollution and promoting a serene environment."
The EK, which means 'star' in the Mayan language, fits three people and reaches speeds up to 22 miles per hour (36 kilometres per hour).
