[403Gemini]

My first reaction is "What the fuck is that thing!"

My second reaction is

"What the fuck is that thing?"

[imjimmylin]

[BerserkerCatSplat]

DO WANT. I don't care if it's fictitious, it's awesome.

[The Cosworth]

They took what they made off my car sale and made that?

Idiots

:werd:
Different doesn't always mean ugly. I think it's cool. :poosie:

Remember the theme is what motorsports may look like in 2025.

[Eleanor]

I can't really tell what it is or how it works.

But it looks wicked :thumbsup:

Assuming to reduce weight, you racer will drive this remotely via virtual cockpit?

[SaturnV]

This was my first thought when I saw it...

As long as Mitsubishi fixes the control scheme, it will be good :D

*Don't know why, but I can't get the picture to post :dunno:

[GotRice?]

[acura_el]

When I first looked at the picture, it looked like an airplane had crashed into the dirt.

Cool idea though.

Actually I kind of thought something along the same lines. I thought it was a freeze frame of an indy car going off course into the drit or something.

I still cant really tell what it looks like 100% but its pretty fucking cool. :thumbsup:

with the design of those tires, there would be a ton of road noise and it would be bumpy as hell.....

at first i thought it'd be bumpy too, but they run diagonally so when one is losing contact another is beginning and if they run a curved it should be somewhat smooth shouldnt it?

roadnoise....psh its a rally car
i dont think that thing would hydroplane very easily :burnout:

:rofl: Maybe when you're rocketing off-road across sand, rocks, and streams, road noise is not a big concern.

Yes, why Mitsubishi why? You must think inside box. Be the same as everybody. Be another mindless drone in the collective...
:rolleyes:

Audi thought differently and that's why they have the gorgeous sci-fi R8.

I'm not the biggest Mitsu fan but you must be blind or dumb to not see how interesting this concept for rallying. It's been a while since I've seen anything this inspirational for rallying from Nissan, Peugeot, Subaru, Citroen, Toyota (Hilux concept excepted), etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mitsu gets contract to build a version for lunar landings OR maybe the next Batmobile.

:eek:

[stefan.bounket]

the technology they are putting in it sounds crazy! 1000miles to one charge of your motors? that's nuts! then again you do have 36 of them... 9 in each wheel lol

I think it looks awesome :) the no windshield part is interesting... having screens surround you or something.... lol

edit: i read the article before hand. didnt even look at the OP's link lol

here is one with a bit more info other than "this is for the LA Auto Show"

Sick! That would be intimidating to see driving towards you!

"Fuck, transformers are after me!!!"

[scat19]

Its a design challenge they have every year, there was a bunch of entries from many peope, and it was just for designers to go wild for what they think the future will hold.

Nothing will come out of it.
