Motorcycles can move faster than cars because they can house comparable engines while only two wheels make contact with the ground, reducing the overall amount of friction; the Beast concept is a vehicle that takes that idea to the extreme. The concept vehicle looks something like a motorcycle, but it uses a giant fan to float above the ground, removing ground friction entirely.
The Beast concept is a single-pilot compact vehicle along the lines of a hovercraft but with speed as a priority. The design's aggressive lines and forward-leaning stance make it clear that the machine tears across flats with velocity. Steering is an issue for a vehicle that doesn't make contact with the ground, and the Beast concept solves that issue by incorporating a fin system underneath it.
