Drive Further is an automotive design concept that was born out of our desires to travel greater distances faster and in a more enjoyable manner. Imagine sitting in one of these machines, feeling the breeze and taking in the wide open spaces as you cruise by at 90. The wide undercarriage allows for greater stability and also an option for traveling off road. The whole concept for Drive Further is centered around the idea of “driving for fun”. The car only has two seats making it the ideal getaway car for couples. There are no doors and you would basically have to jump in and climb out which is fine as the activity it self makes an excellent conversation piece.

Chess is a cell-car concept where passengers are put in a cell above a platform containing the engine and wheels. The cell can move over the platform in any direction. If a sensor, placed in the platform, detects a possible crash, the passenger-cell is moved away from the expected impact area. This results in more (deformable) distance between impact and passengers, thus higher survival-chances. Depending on position, speed, and place of impact, the passenger-cell moves to the most optimal position to protect the occupants
