Ozone Hydrogen Powered Car with 2 Giant Wheels

The new concept vehicle called ‘Ozone’ seems to revolutionize the way we commute. The vehicle works on hydrogen powered fuel cells and looks futuristic in every way possible. Also the thought and the concept seems to be fine, however the structure might make you feel uncomfortable in your seats. The body is encased between two giant wheels controlled by separate motors which are powered by fuel cells, though this two seater looks more like a design picked straight out of fantasy due to its semi transparent glass casing and controlled by joystick. The huge glass doors slide 360 degree into the symmetric metal body. It sure is one cool futuristic concept.

“Drive Further” Brings You The Idea of Driving for Fun

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.
