View gallery – 9 images Spanish performance brand Cupra used the International Mobility Show in Munich this week to unveil the DarkRebel EV show car. It’s one of the most distinctive best looking concepts we’ve ever seen … and the company simultaneously announced its intentions to launch into the American marketplace.
Putting the not-so-oblique references to the Dark Knight aside, concept cars are built to assess the public’s appetite for a new automobile, so if you are as enamored with the styling of the new two-seat electric hot hatch Dark Rebel as we are, go down to your local dealership and let them know.
Realistically, this design is so visually arresting that it may well spawn a trend. Perhaps the only difficulties to overcome are how quickly the car can be readied for production and how much of the stylistic oomph will be lost to enable production readiness.

So if you’re in North America, head down to your local dealership and tell them you’re interested, as that’s most likely where you’ll find them when they reach American shores.
