Yet another funky little car came rolling across my desk this morning, meet Puyo.
Puyo is a concept car from Honda and it was built for the Tokyo Motor Show. The name loosely translates to the need to touch and as it was built for the theme "For the endless joy of mobility on our earth" it seems to fit quite nicely. Puyo has no external edges, all super smooth lines and as the name suggests, it just begs to be touched.
The interior is pure Apollo 13 and with the single side door, it appears to be roomy while I expect that its a tiny little puppy out on the open road. It's controlled by a joystick, futuristic touch instrument panel and appears to have non of the mod cons that consumers think they need. Its pure, minimalistic, A-B, people moving fun.
Under the hood? it features ultra-high efficiency, a small frame and is powered by fuel cell technology to please both users and onlookers alike. The headlights are backed up by a luminous hue that covers the car after nightfall which gives it a glo-worm on wheel look. It also features 4 wheel steering and can turn 360 degrees on the spot. Very impressive.
While I doubt it will ever be tearing up your nearest motorway, I think this car is a great example of outside the box, looking like a box technology - if that's even a thing.
