The Mitsubishi EGG is an atypical roadster designed with a hybrid engine. The mastermind behind the EGG is designer Sofian Tallal. According to Tallal, the EGG was designed to represent, "complex shapes with simple functionality using modern materials and advanced technology."
The EGG's body certainly nails down the whole complex shapes angle, while the interior covers the advanced technology portion of the designer's mission statement quite nicely. The offbeat design of the Mitsubishi EGG would help it stand out in the ever-growing hybrid segment. Most hybrids are tame in design, and hope to capture consumers with their fuel-efficient engines, not their looks. The Mitsubishi EGG would be able to entice a younger generation of drivers with its futuristic design and gas-saving engine.
