Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Human-Powered Audi Exo Concept by Andrea Mocellin

— July 4, 2009 — Autos
The Exo-line Audi concept car by Andrea Mocellin is a human-powered exoskeleton vehicle. I’m not going to fool myself and think that I understand this futuristic technology; it actually flashes me back to the Flintstone foot-powered car, but as a Royal College of Art student, I am sure Mocellin grasps the idea full on.

Basically, a robotic system within the vehicle takes the energy that a human creates and makes it more powerful, much more powerful.

The Audi Exo’s exterior design itself is intensely space-age and hovercraft-inspiration is evident.
