The all-electric Superbus is the attempt of students at UT Delft of the Netherlands, to make bus riding uber-cool once again (if riding the bus was ever cool, I didn't hear about it). To make this vehicle attractive to potential riders, the students decked out the bus with a carbon-fiber shell, a low chasis, and 16 gull-wing doors.
However, the coolest feature of the all-electric Superbus is that it closely resembles the Batmobile that lost a wheel. Who would like the ride the bus now?
