Dacia unveiled the Manifesto concept car, an outdoors-focused, Jeep-inspired car with a number of interesting design choices. First and foremost, Dacia sought to ensure that there were "no barriers between passengers and the environment" with this car, meaning the designer removed the side doors, as well as all of the windows, including the front windshield. This results in a buggy-esque concept car that looks like a vehicle out of a science fiction film.
The Manifesto is intended to show a number of design ideas, rather than to represent a single concrete car that will reach production, meaning this buggy may never be produced as it is in the renders. With that aside, the Manifesto has large, puncture-proof tires, large seats with sufficient seatbelts for extreme off-roading, a bright LED lights along the front, sides, and rear of the vehicle. This results in a buggy that appears ready to traverse extreme off-road environments at night.
