Cerva MC08 Concept Car
The Cerva MC08 concept vehicle could potentially be the transport of the future, being oval in shape and sporting one of the most ridiculous form factors I've ever come across, bar those in other sci-fi movies and series. The Cerva MC08 is modular as it features a three wheel axle extension that can be mounted on the vehicle for use on the hard road. It is supposed to be able to ferry up to two people simultaneously, but I think the manufacturers are referring to kids and not full grown adults as I can't think of how. Chances are by the time this thing is actually released, we won't be relying on gas to power it any more.
