De Silva’s vast experience in car design has led to the creation of a very minimalistic-looking vehicle, with clean and continuous lines that run across its length, merging into the body panels seamlessly. The ECF proudly wears its backlit name in the lower part of the front and rear bumpers, and on the C pillars. The company’s logo and the ‘Arcfox’ lettering are also backlit at both ends, and taking the role of the traditional taillamps is a very thin light strip. The cockpit follow...
