Here is another concept car designed by a British car designer and is named in Japanese and will most likely never find its way on to the road at any point of time. While I do understand that 99% of concept cars will not make it on to the road even in the next century or so one feels that sometimes people are wasting too much time on stuff that never materializes. That is not to put down this fabulous ‘stretching neck’ concept but it is just sad to see sometimes how such unique and special concepts never materialize in to anything substantial.
Britisher Nicholas Lee Dunderdale describes ‘Kassou’, which is Japanese for ‘Glide’, as “a very compact 3-wheel vehicle, with rear splitting doors and a sitting configuration that mimics a Jet–ski or motorbike arrangement in having a central ‘bench’ for two people and moped like controls at the front.”
The large glazing of the cockpit is attached to an adjustable rubber neck which can be expanded and contracted to improve aerodynamics or inside headroom, and a ‘side-car’ can be attached via a lower section of the vehicle which also provides an extendable structure for storage of bags and even bikes. The concept is really nice and cute and makes for a wonderful little concept car.
