The Dawn car concept looks like it has had a tarp put over it to protect it from various weather conditions. To others, it can also look like an enlarged Roomba vacuum cleaner. Nevertheless, it is not a car that has been put away for the winter season nor does it pick up dirt and debris when driven around. Instead, the Dawn car concept is a low-riding, futuristic electric vehicle that boasts a rear-engine and single-seat with a wireless induction charger housed up front.
Designed by Valmet Automotive, a Finnish contract manufacturer, the Dawn car concept was recently unveiled during the Geneva Auto Show. Known for building cars for Porsche, Saab and Fisker, Valmet has impressed show-goers with its own attention-grabbing design.
