Advanced Go-Carting

When someone says your car looks or drives like a go-cart it’s not considered a good thing. Despite how much fun they are, it seems no one wants their car compared to one. Maybe transportation designer Florian Dobe can put a spin on the stereotype with this little concept. Sporting tiny 10″ rims, this vehicle is equal parts sportscar and go-cart.

It has been created with two distinct “states” in mind, an open and a closed. In the open state it’s the 2 seater go-cart inspired sportscar, and in the closed sate the seats fold seamlessly into the body to create a sculpture.

Brilliant folding seats/sculpture concept. I’d like to know more, planned power source, etc. Design could be a bit more beautiful, but that’s in the eye of the beholder I suppose. Excellent.

Great concept. New way to lock your car, too! I just have issue with the author’s first 2 sentences. The MINI prides itself on its go-kart handling and while I suppose I wouldn’t want my car to look like one, I consider “your car drives like a go-kart” a huge compliment.

Can you imagine the possibilities for vertical stacked parking?
