Steven Barrett and his team managed to get their 2.45-kilogram craft airborne for 60 meters using electroaerodynamic propulsion, basically ionizing air molecules and pushing them backward to create thrust. The plane looked like a weird skeletal kite with a bunch of thin wires, hardly the stuff of sci-fi dreams, but it proved that you could move through air without any moving parts, fuel, or exhaust. The power requirements were brutal though, around 40,000 volts to generate just 3.2 newtons of thrust, which is why that first flight lasted all of 12 seconds and needed a tether to a ground-based power supply.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward six years and Korean designer Hanum Jeong has taken that same ionic propulsion concept and wrapped it in what might be the most gorgeous automotive fever dream I\u2019ve seen all year. The MG EXE ION concept celebrates the British brand\u2019s centennial with a design so radical it makes the Vision GT cars look conservative. Jeong hasn\u2019t just sketched a pretty car and slapped some sci-fi labels on it. Every surface, every lighting element, every aerodynamic channel speaks to the central ionic propulsion <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a> in ways that actually make visual sense. The glowing teal accents trace paths where ionized air might flow, the rear tunnels suggest massive airflow manipulation, and that central disc behind the cockpit reads like a giant ionic drive ring.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: Hanum Jeong<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-575309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/08\/29\/this-mg-concept-car-uses-mits-ionic-propulsion-instead-of-an-engine\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This MG Concept Car Uses MIT\u2019s Ionic Propulsion Instead of an Engine\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-575309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/08\/29\/this-mg-concept-car-uses-mits-ionic-propulsion-instead-of-an-engine\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This MG Concept Car Uses MIT\u2019s Ionic Propulsion Instead of an Engine\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_2.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"eef903d0d80cfa1faf33018b-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"eef903d0d80cfa1faf33018b-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>MIT\u2019s plane needed those 40,000 volts because air is a terrible conductor, but Jeong\u2019s design suggests massive surface area for ionization through those rear tunnels and integrated wing elements. The visual language tells a story of a vehicle that doesn\u2019t just push air aside like conventional cars but actively manipulates and charges it. Those teal lighting elements probably represent the high-voltage electrodes needed to ionize nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere. The seamless integration of these elements into the bodywork creates a cohesive narrative that most concept cars completely miss.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-575310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/08\/29\/this-mg-concept-car-uses-mits-ionic-propulsion-instead-of-an-engine\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This MG Concept Car Uses MIT\u2019s Ionic Propulsion Instead of an Engine\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_3.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-575310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/08\/29\/this-mg-concept-car-uses-mits-ionic-propulsion-instead-of-an-engine\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This MG Concept Car Uses MIT\u2019s Ionic Propulsion Instead of an Engine\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_3.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-575311\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/08\/29\/this-mg-concept-car-uses-mits-ionic-propulsion-instead-of-an-engine\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This MG Concept Car Uses MIT\u2019s Ionic Propulsion Instead of an Engine\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_4.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-575311\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/08\/29\/this-mg-concept-car-uses-mits-ionic-propulsion-instead-of-an-engine\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This MG Concept Car Uses MIT\u2019s Ionic Propulsion Instead of an Engine\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_4.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"eef903d0d80cfa1faf33018b-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ads-2 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"eef903d0d80cfa1faf33018b-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The proportions scream single-seat race car mixed with jet fighter, which makes perfect sense for a propulsion system borrowed from aviation. That ultra-low nose, the pronounced rear deck, and the central cockpit position all optimize for airflow management rather than traditional automotive packaging constraints. Jeong has essentially designed a ground-effect aircraft that happens to have wheels, and the result is stunning. The wheel covers with their radial patterns and matching teal accents reinforce the electrical theme while hiding what are probably conventional motors for low-speed maneuvering. Because let\u2019s be honest, ionic propulsion might work for sustained high-speed flight, but you\u2019re still going to need something to get out of your garage.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-575312\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"959\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/08\/29\/this-mg-concept-car-uses-mits-ionic-propulsion-instead-of-an-engine\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This MG Concept Car Uses MIT\u2019s Ionic Propulsion Instead of an Engine\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_5.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-575312\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"959\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/08\/29\/this-mg-concept-car-uses-mits-ionic-propulsion-instead-of-an-engine\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This MG Concept Car Uses MIT\u2019s Ionic Propulsion Instead of an Engine\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/575307\/mg_exe_ion_5.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p>The silver and black paint scheme with those neon teal highlights hits that perfect sweet spot between classic concept car drama and legitimate functional communication.

The mirrored presentation photos emphasize the design\u2019s purity while those motion-blur shots with light streaks actually illustrate how ionic wind might interact with the vehicle\u2019s surfaces.

MIT\u2019s plane managed about 2.6% efficiency in converting electrical energy to thrust, compared to 85%+ for electric motors. Scaling that up to move a 1,000-kilogram vehicle would require power levels that make current EV charging infrastructure look quaint. But Jeong\u2019s concept captures something essential about how future propulsion might integrate with vehicle design in ways that current EVs, with their hidden motors and conventional layouts, completely ignore. This design makes ionic propulsion feel inevitable rather than impossible, which is exactly what great concept work should accomplish.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SHARE\"><\/span>SHARE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"sd-content\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-facebook\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-facebook-575307\" hidden>Click to share on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Facebook<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-x\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-x-575307\" hidden>Click to share on X (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>X<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-pinterest\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-pinterest-575307\" hidden>Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Pinterest<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-reddit\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-reddit-575307\" hidden>Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Reddit<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-linkedin\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-linkedin-575307\" hidden>Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>LinkedIn<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-tumblr\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-tumblr-575307\" hidden>Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Tumblr<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-pocket\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-pocket-575307\" hidden>Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Pocket<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-email\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-email-575307\" hidden>Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Email<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-print\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-print-575307\" hidden>Click to print (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Print<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-end\"><\/ul>\n<div class=\"sharing-hidden\">\n<div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-telegram\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-telegram-575307\" hidden>Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Telegram<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-threads\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-threads-575307\" hidden>Click to share on Threads (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Threads<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-jetpack-whatsapp\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-whatsapp-575307\" hidden>Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>WhatsApp<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-mastodon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-mastodon-575307\" hidden>Click to share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Mastodon<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-bluesky\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-bluesky-575307\" hidden>Click to share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Bluesky<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-nextdoor\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-nextdoor-575307\" hidden>Click to share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Nextdoor<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-end\"><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p>\n<div>\n                                                            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n                            <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                <span>Sarang Sheth<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                        <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
