Post by: el_monty on January 07, 2018, 12:55:01 PM: It's not self-driving. If you look closely you'll see a rectangle-shaped steering wheel behind the dashboard.

Very ergonomic...
They'll be fitting rectangular road wheels next!

Not sure I want a car with wifi in the bumpers and a touch screen for a front panel.

Back on the serious questions, electric powered

Title: Re: Monty292
Post by: el_monty on February 07, 2018, 10:48:03 AM: Yes! The point goes to Djetset. The ELVA project (Advanced Electric Vehicle Architecture, no connection to the British Elva company of the 60s) was an EU-funded project that took place from 2010 to 2013, for the development of urban electric cars, coordinated by the Institute for Automotive Engineering (IKA) of RWTH Aachen University and with the technical support of VW, Renault, Fiat, and other smaller companies, among them the one I work for, Applus IDIADA. A two-phase pan-European design contest was held to define how the car would look, and it was won by this proposal by Spanish designer Jorge Biosca, whom I know personally and was glad to congratulate when he was awarded his prize. The project finalised at this conceptual stage and sadly nothing was built, not even a scale model. Biosca is known for other designs that have appeared on AP before, such as the Fuore Jaguar XF10/Blackjag (https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2007-35/what-it-is-8-gtgtsolvedgtgtgtfuore-blackjag) and the Toyota 2000 SR Concept (image 24) (https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2009-37/solved-exhausted!-by-ehhxekt-re-arunas-impishgrin-jotage21-and-paul-jaray/)
