If this 3GEO was a bug, it would be snatched up by the long sticky tongue of a toad. But it is not a bug, it is a concept from the fertile mind of Zdenko Vukoja who developed the car design for [Peugeot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inception-ev). The [tiny eco concept car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-numa-concept) is a [battery-powered hybrid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-etech-electric-prototype) teamed with a conventional internal combustion engine or natural gas.

It’s all carbon fiber, so if a toad did happen to swallow it, it wouldn't have an irregularity problem from not getting fiber in its diet.
