The first thing that struck me about the design of this eco-micro car was its aerodynamic appeal. Seems that other electric car designers have forgotten that pushing air consumes energy—whether it’s fossil or electric. So the less air pushed, the longer the onboard energy will last.

This is the VW Citizen. The tiny wheels are concealed behind aerodynamic body forms and the whole car reminds me of a teardrop or airfoil—both very efficient designs.

VW CitiZen is one such concept that has specifically been designed for a metropolis battling with all these problems. The car runs on a hybrid propulsion system which carries batteries and hydrogen fuel cells as well. The wheels of this car rotate 180 degrees, so the user of this car won’t have to do much to take a u-turn. (cardesign.ru)
