The Kalisto Concept Car Makes an Automotive Fashion Statement

— April 23, 2011 — Autos
The Kalisto concept car from Niklas Wejedal is designed to make a futuristic, eco-friendly fashion statement sometime in the near future. How can a car be a fashion statement, you ask? With a sleek, aerodynamic design, panoramic windows and an electric engine.

The Kalisto concept car can seat two and is designed for short to medium-range trips. The car has only three wheels which may seem a bit unconventional by today's standards, but is becoming increasingly more common with concept car designers. Designing a car to make a fashion statement is also a brilliant move as consumers of the future are bound to want a car that is powered by renewable energy and stands out from the pack. Today's Prius could be tomorrow's Kalisto. You heard it here first.
