Funky Punker Bubble Cars

Vehiconomics' Smite is a Modern-Day Messerschmitt

Just in case you can’t tell what this abomination on wheels is, it’s a car, a bubble car named the Vehiconomics Smite. The Funky Punker-style vehicle is the brainchild of “a number of companies, experts in their respective fields, working together to create a caring invention for urban people.”

Really? Well who are these experts, and why are they trying to recreate a Messerschmitt KR200? Never has there been such an abomination in auto design since the AMC Gremlin, which by the way I expect will make a complete comeback. Check out the gallery above for more shots of the Vehiconomics Smite.
