3-Legged Pod Vehicles

The Simon Colabufalo SV1 Concept Belongs in the Future

So many of the futuristic vehicle concepts that Trend Hunter has been posting of late seem to all feature a pod-like design that is compact and environmentally conscious—and the Simon Colabufalo SV1 doesn’t negate that statement.

Boasting a sleek design that looks like it belongs in the future, the Simon Colabufalo SV1 seats two. Driven by a sole rear vehicle, its steering is delegated to the two front wheels, according to Naresh Chauhan.
