Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Simon Colabufalo SV1 Concept Belongs in the Future

— January 31, 2010 — Autos
So many of the futuristic vehicle concepts that Trend Hunter has been posting of late seem to all feature a pod-like design that is compact and environmentally conscious—and the Simon Colabufalo SV1 doesn’t negate that statement.

Boasting a sleek design that looks like it belongs in the future, the Simon Colabufalo SV1 seats two. Driven by a sole rear vehicle, its steering is delegated to the two front wheels, according to Naresh Chauhan.

Trend Themes

  1. Pod Vehicle Design — There is room for innovative materials, designs and hybrid technologies in future 3-legged pod-like vehicles, such as the Simon Colabufalo SV1.
