Inspired by the killer shark, the Laser-Gill features the low-height, open-wheel body design, with the front narrow cockpit and the large rear sharp cowls that shaped like shark's fins. There's a vertical fin, shaped to be like a shark's fin, placed behind the cockpit. There's also gills and large air-intakes on the bodyshells that can dissipate the heats from the motor and batteries.
