The car of the future, from the past… Take a look at what concept cars looked like in the 80s. The Citroën Karin, designed by Trevor Fiore was a super simple concept from a time where everyone was dreaming about flying, space-cars. No bells and whistles, just simplicity.
Ralph Panhuyzen (project lead and inventor) and Steven van der Veen (visualization) from Netherlands have designed the Space Efficient Vehicle.
