This drawing (for it is only a concept) of a very short underground train carriage is a Rinspeed Micromax. You will observe that it has plenty of room for a driver, three passengers sort of standing up, a baby-buggy/wheelchair/shopping cart and a penguin. Not sure why you would want to take a penguin but that definitely looks like Pingu in the front there. This concept will be appearing at The 2013 Geneva Motor Show and the story is covered by most of the online motoring press including
AutoGuide and
caradvice.com.au who advise you to "Stand up and strap in" - kinky! Needless to say in a modern-day Car Show concept - it is all electric and, given it's obvious commutey taxi-cab urban madate, that is the sensible powertrain to be using. For those not familiar with Rinspeed - they are not a Belgian Dishwasher manufacturer - they are a Swiss vehicle design-and-manufacture outfit. They have produced many vehicles usually taking a familiar product of a mainstream manufacturer and upgrading it - or coming up with a completely new take. Here is one of my favourites:
Pity it's called the ZaZen - daft name. To learn more, check out their
Website or look at their
Google Images. and if you don't want to pick up a penguin...
...you could always grab a Taxi...
