for the concept car point of view, that might make sense but to apply it for road use, I don't think I will drive that. The back tyres was too big man... that's horrible to drive on open road

Re: Picture of awesome concept car

I'm trying to figure out what the benefit of the two large back tires like that would be.

If it had normal wheel placement, would still be a pretty good looking concept.

Re: Picture of awesome concept car

car is nice but rear wheel thingy cannot be applied with this car in practical... in rain the following driver will get a hell of water splashes on screen and finally smash into something... LOL

Driver inside the car will see a big tyre in rear view in-car mirror... or may be nothing.

Re: Picture of awesome concept car

To me, it looks like a big tape dispenser!

From a practical safety view, the only benefit I see is that it's so low to the ground, there's less chance of rolling over or losing control.

I would like to know what the engineers' intention was in creating that design. (just for looks, or for a better, safer vehicle?)

Do you actually drive a vehicle like that?

Re: Picture of awesome concept car

If ever there was a concept car made to define the term "abomination" this would be it.

Re: Picture of awesome concept car

I like the concept of the design. I think there is just some minor problems with the rear tires. I think it would be very hard to change the rear tires.

Re: Picture of awesome concept car

I couldn't agree more with all those saying the rear tires just made this concept really bad. I have seen how tires like those operate and though they are probable, the use in this design just does not make it look any better nor make it more maneuverable. The car is also extremely lowered which makes me doubt this will survive even the roads of the future.

Isn't that just ONE big rear tire?
