The most convertible car ever

vw_xlaero_1

Convertible is one word to describe the Volkswagen XLAero, but probably a more apt word is Modular. Get this… the entire upper hood can be swapped with another hood design to create an entirely different car. Even the seating gets rearranged too, with one variant being a solo car (for the weekends), and another being your weekday commute (with seating for up to 2 people). What an incredibly out-of-the-box idea! This may sound like salesman-speak, but you’re literally getting two cars for the price of one! You’ve really got to marvel the freshness of this concept car’s approach!

Designer: Adrien Séné
