The new vehicle design by Christian Susana is a nice combination of car and a caravan camper. Christian has called it Colim (Colors of Life in Motion), which might not win many points on looks department, but still is quite useful given the kind of flexibility it offers. Colim provides the advantage of detaching the front part if one does not have a usage for the home part. Design wise it reminds more of geometric shape, which one can say to be a welcome change from the regular designs, but the designer has really explored a possibility using different shapes which may pave way for better shaped cars.
The designer says : “The Colim concept - an acronym meaning ‘colors of life in motion’ - is an intelligent mobility concept which stretches primarily the bridge between caravans, camper, lifestyle and business. Dubbed a ‘lifestyle motor home’, the cockpit can be disconnected from the usable living space. The livable area is flexible, with individually applicable multi function modules. Designed for two people (max. four persons), the motor home offers the possibility to personalize its four mobile ‘walls’ according to the present life situation of the user. This flexibility is not only limited to the living area, but also features in the cockpit.”

I think that the problem with this concept is that the “Head” must have a very powerful engine and in the this concept the head is too small.

I had originally thought the engine for the front car is too small. But then again why would it only be limited to the front car. They could conceivably place an engine in the back car as well.

The linkage for disconnecting from the rear and assembling/engaging the drive wheels would cost as much as a third car. Plus be way too complicated to survive daily use.

I originally studied architecture and as such admire the effort put into this. It is brilliant.
I am a young outdoors person who kayaks and kite surfs. This is exactly what I need. I would be will to pay good money to own one of these. Instead I am looking at converting a second had BT ford transit van into a weekend van!!!!
