Penguin-Inspired Autos

The Gentoo Concept Car is Like an Egg on Wheels

If you absolutely hate the idea of parallel parking then I think the Gentoo concept car may be for you. Making the Smart Car look like a Hummer, this nifty little thing looks like it could barely fit a full size adult. This is definitely designed for inner city driving and not any kind of long trip where you have to bring bags or luggage.

Inspired by the Gentoo penguin, the Gentoo concept car requires zero fossil fuels. Running instead on lithium ion battery technology, this little egg-shaped auto is about as green as you can get.
