a children's book that Ian Fleming (James Bond creator) wrote almost
half a century before or just a funny name, but for designer Adam
Palethorpe it's an eco-friendly city vehicle concept. Keeping away from
the aero-engined racing cars from the past (that inspired the story),
the new Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a futuristic city commuter meant for
the green-minded.
The two-seater vehicle runs on an electric motors, only packs the
bare-essentials and features a bunch of eco factors including solar
cells on the roof, a regenerative braking system and options for
harnessing wind power. A viable solution that would produce fewer toxic
emisssions, the new Chitty Chitty Bang Bang city commuter seems to be
fun to drive and easy to park.
The only thing we're concerned about is how aerodynamic is the whole setup.
Definitely aimed for the young, we wouldn't mind taking it for a spin to
the grocery store - it certainly has space for a couple of six packs.
